How to Apply
Dr. Dave's Ultimate is an excellent choice for a variety of applications.
A soil test from the UGA extension office is a great way to get started understanding what your soil may need. More information here:
Orchard and Fruit Trees
Fruit Trees - Apply roughly one cup per tree plus 1 cup for each 1" of trunk diameter. Example: Roughly 2 cups for a 2" peach tree. Spread evenly around the tree out to the drip line, then mulch on top.
Orchard -
Vegetables / Gardens
.Garden application rate vary greatly depending on soil quality
General Guidelines Below:
Approximately 1 ounce per 4 sq feet of garden.
2 lb bag covers 128 sq feet
6 lb bag covers 384 sq feet
16 lb bag 1,024 sq feet
50 lb bag 3,200 sq feet
Side dress every 4-6 weeks and mulch on top of fertilizer for best results.
Lawn / Grass
For a standard lawn, apply 10 pounds of 10-10-10 fertilizer per 1,000 square feet. This provides 1 lb of actual nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium per 1,000 sq. ft.. Apply during the growing season, typically in early spring or autumn, and water thoroughly after application.
We recommend a soil test for repeated lawn use as too much phosphorus can hinder growth.
Houseplants
Use one tablespoon per gallon of soil, 2-3 times per year.
