How Often to Use: Apply once in the spring and once in the fall.

1. Water First: Give the soil around your tree or shrub a good watering to soften it up before you start.
2. Find the Dripline: The dripline is the area of ground under the outermost branches of your tree or shrub. Measure the diameter of the dripline to determine how many plant food spikes you'll need.
3. Space them Out: Space the spikes at least 3 feet apart, evenly around the dripline.
4. Drive in the Spikes: Gently hammer a spike into the ground using a rubber mallet until it is below the soil surface.

The number of spikes you'll need depends on the dripline diameter of your tree or shrub:

• 4 ft. diameter = 1 spike
• 6 ft. diameter = 3 spikes
• 8 ft. diameter = 5 spikes
• 10 ft. diameter = 7 spikes
• 12 ft. diameter = 10 spikes
• 15 ft. diameter = 16 spikes

After you've placed the spikes, just continue with your regular watering routine for your trees and shrubs.

A Good Habit: We always recommend wearing gardening gloves when you're working in the garden, and it's a good practice to wash your hands when you're done.
