This was given to me to try on my plants. Just sprinkle a pinch on the soil line. Water well for two days and then water as usual. This is the most amazing slow dissolving organic fertilizier. Every tree I use it on has the leaves turn deep green and the colors of the flowers are so much deeper. Comes as shown. The image will be updated but the bag is a one pound bag. Only apply once yes once every 4 months. Thats 3x a year. Every tree, orchid, bonsai, plant and veggie garden should have this......
