TIPS
A complete fertilizer is a plant food which feeds the entire plant, and promotes growth, while Bone Meal specifically feeds the root system, and helps to establish strong and healthy roots
When transplanting, handle plants very carefully. Don’t use a tree or bush trunk as a handle ; carry the plant from the bottom
Place the entire root ball (burlap and all) into the prepared soil. Loosen the string and burlap around the base of the plant’s , trunk and cover with soil.
For an excellent soil mix, add Evergro Bone Meal to well-rotted compost material, about 2kg per 70 litres, or 0.07meters squared (2.5 feet squared)
