    Garden Usage Tips

    Houseplants: 2 tablespoons per gallon of water; feed plants monthly.

    Tomatoes: 1 tablespoon per foot of plant height per plant; apply every        
    two weeks.

    Roses: 1 tablespoon per foot of plant height per plant; apply every two
    weeks. Also scratch 1/2 cup into soil at base to encourage flowering canes
    and healthy new basal cane growth. Soak unplanted bushes in 1/2 cup of
    Epsom Salt per gallon of water to help roots recover. Add a tablespoon of
    Epsom Salt to each hole at planting time. Spray with Epsom Salt solution
    weekly to discourage pests.
    Shrubs: (evergreens, azaleas, rhododendron): 1 tablespoon per 9 square
    feet. Apply over root zone every 2-4 weeks.

    Lawns: Apply 3 pounds for every 1,250 square feet with a spreader, or
    dilute in water and apply with a sprayer.

    Trees: Apply 2 tablespoons per 9 square feet. Apply over the root zone 3
    times annually.

    Garden Startup: Sprinkle 1 cup per 100 square feet. Mix into soil before
    planting.

    Sage: Do not apply! This herb is one of the few plants that doesn't like
    Epsom Salt.
