Best Practices

Prep for use: Wet product at least a few hours prior to planting or blocking. This allows the product to more readily absorb water and not wash out of the pots or trays on initial watering.

Handling: Do not let the product over dry or get waterlogged. Store under cover, out of direct sunlight. Protect from weed seeds and animals.

Supplemental Fertility: None necessary until the roots fill the pot and/or six weeks from planting. Supplement with Compost Plus.

Storage and Shelf Life: Store in a cool, neither dry nor wet place to maintain moisture content. Product should be used within 12 months from date of purchase; older product may still be good if it has not over dried or gotten wet.
