How to use

Mix 3 lbs or 6 cups per cubic foot of soil, or topdress at 1.5 lbs or 3 cups per square foot. For best results, allow about one week after mixing before planting so the blend begins to break down and integrate. To build soil, combine each blend size with peat-perlite mixes, compost, vermicompost, or potting soil as directed for that size. A pre-charge service into compost is available for an additional cost for immediate mixing and planting.
