Month-By-Month Suggestions |
| In May |
|
Water the plants at the base as needed, alternating Soluble Seaweed, Calcium, and Soluble Fish with plain water. Example: Soluble Seaweed-plain warm water-Calcium solution-plain warm water-Soluble Fish -plain warm water. When plants reach the 5 true leaf stage do a combination of foliar applications and feeding directly on the soil in an area 2 to 3 times larger than the plant.
