Recommended Application Rates:
*For general soil maintenance - Apply 1 cu. ft. for each 500 sq. ft. of area and
incorporate into top 3 to 5 inches of soil. For best results allow 10 to 30 days prior to
planting. For established plants or turf spread at the same rate and water thoroughly.
*For poor soils you may apply 2 cu. ft. for each 500 sq. ft. of area or in cases where
you will be producing a crop the next season and do not want to add compost during
the growing season.
*For increased vegetable production - sidedress with 1 cu. ft. per 100 ft. of row.
Cabbage, Cauliflower, and Broccoli - three weeks after planting in garden.
Cucumber and Cantaloupe - one week after blossoming begins.
Onions (for bulb production) - one week after bulb formation begins.
Peas and Beans - after pod setting begins.
Potato - after tuber formation begins.
Spinach - at about 30% of maturity.
Sweet Corn - when plants are 8 inches tall and one week after tassels appear.
Tomato - approximately one week prior to ripe fruit and four weeks later.
Note: Composted poultry manure is not a potting soil. You can add Early Bird
Compost to your potting soil if additional nutrients are needed. Some have seen
good results at rates of 1:12. Topdressing with Early Bird and watering in also works
good. This is a case where you can use too much and harm the plants especially
those sensitive to Nitrogen.
