How To Use
Water First: Give the soil around your tree or shrub a good watering to soften it up before you start.
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.
Space them Out: Space the spikes at least 3 feet apart, evenly around the dripline.
Drive in the Spikes: Gently hammer a spike into the ground using a rubber mallet until it is below the soil surface.
How Much To Use
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.
