Re: NUTES - What To Use and How to use them - Tutorial
ESPOMA NUTES :
Espoma is a brand of dry, granual organics used mostly in outdoor in-ground growing, but CAN be used at a lesser rate to enrich the soil of container plants.
It is marketed as Plant-tone, Veg-Tone, Holly-Tone, Rose-tone and Flower-tone.
You will want to get Veg-tone and Flower-tone... If flower-tone is not available, use Just the veg-tone.
For in-ground,prep your planting site, adding 1/4 cup of the Veg-tone to the hole you dig for the plants (at least 18 inches wide and 12 inches deep- the soil fluffed and back In the hole when you add the Espoma)
... or in containers, use 2 tablespoons in 5 galons of soil.
When the Plants Begin to bloom, use the Flower-tone as a top dressing according tot he bags directions, and gently rub into the soil around the plants so i doesn't wash away in the rain.
You MAY use the Fish-Fert Schedule along with the Espoma, but reduce the feedings to every other week.
I used a little less than half of the recomended dose of Holy-tone in my 2.5 gallon buckets for there first feeding a couple of days ago, I also used Bio-tone Starter Microbial plant Food when I tweaked my soil for transplanting. I guess my question is will the Holy tone that I used be a problem? Can I still do the Veg-tone? I would appreciate any info on this, Thank you.
