How to Use & When to Apply:
When planting tomato beds, work 3 pounds for every 50 square feet into the top 4 to 6 inches of soil. To reapply, apply 1 cup per 5 feet of row twice a month throughout the growing season. Water thoroughly after application. Keep fertilizer at least 3 inches from stems and avoid contact with leaves.
For individual plants, work 3 tablespoons of Tomato-tone into the soil when planting, then water in. Repeat monthly through the growing season.
For potted plants, combine 2 cups of Tomato-tone per cubic foot of soil (1½ teaspoons per quart of soil) and use to fill containers. Feed twice a month with 1½ teaspoons per 4 inches of pot diameter. Water thoroughly after application.
