Anyone here use this organic fertilizer?  If so, how much do you use for 1 gallon of soil mix?  and how do you apply it? (for new plants, and established plants)

Thanks

I don't use it in small pots.  In large pots I sprinkle a handful or 2 on the top every Spring.  I go by the sq' recommendations on the label.  For another thread I calculated potting costs and this stuff more than doubled the cost of each pot's soil so when I use up what I have I'm not getting any more.  I'll use worm castings and regular compost instead.  I think the best of the Tones for figs is the Tomato Tone but it's just an opinion.  I like the NPK ratio and the extra calcium.

Love it, I would use about a teaspoon for a gallon container, maybe more..it depends how nutrient rich your potting mix is to begin with. I usually don't really measure for a container like that though. I fill it about 1/4-1/3 full, add a big pinch(my hands aren't large so my big pinch could be different than yours) and mix it around a little and lightly pack add more soil or the plant whichever comes first. When I get to about half full I sprinkle a smaller pinch around the circumference and slightly mix it in, add more soil and once it's nearly to the top I add another small pinch mix around a bit, top it off and pat down like I do.
I like to use the Starter-tone for smaller plants, I think it makes a big difference, but Any-tone is better than No-tone.

I mix in 3 TBL per gallon of potting mix. Seems to work well. I got a 36lb bag for about $27 on jet.com after the discounts with free shipping.

I use the holly tone on the blueberries, lemons, and blackberries.

I guess it doesn't matter how much you use then. Some people said they use 1 tablespoon per gallon, some use 3 tablespoon, and some even recommend half cup per gallon of soil.

I'm kinda confuse really.

Alan,

Holly Tone is for acid-loving plants (blueberries, Citruses and etc). Do you use it with Figs? What's your pH?
