Try to avoid putting any fertilizers on top of the canopy or flower, this may lead to burning.
In all instances try and work gently into the top 10cm of the soil with a fork or spade. Then
irrigate thoroughly afterwards.

CAUTION- for plants and flowers in containers, apply smaller amounts more often as too
much at one time may generate heat in the container as the organic portion begins working.

Recommended Application Method for lawns:
Cut the lawn short. Spike the lawn/field with garden fork or spiked roller. Spread the material
evenly over the surface with a shovel. Then use a hard broom or plastic rake to work into
the lawn to further spread evenly. Allow the leaves of the lawn to come through the surface
of the application. Do not over apply.

Recommended Application Method for herbs:
Herbs are not heavy feeders and will thrive with good fertile, well aerated soil and straight
organic fertilizers. The same application principles apply to herbs as to flowers and shrubs.
Place fertilizer around the plant under the leaf canopy. Work gently into the soil surface.
Irrigate thoroughly afterwards. by Mike Hallam (pics by Mike Hallam & Pixabay)
