APPLICATION DIRECTIONS
LAWNS: When
applying fertilizer, it is important to remember that a uniform distribution
is essential. For luxurious lawns that have the rich, green golf
course look, apply Chickity Doo Doo™ every 10 weeks at the
rate of 20 lbs. per 1,250 sq. ft. Use a broadcast spreader (spinner
type) set at wide open.
For established lawns, we recommend four applications per year.
For new lawns and sod, apply Chickity Doo Doo™ to soil at the rate
of 30 lbs. Per 1,000 sq. ft. prior to seeding. Work into the soil
to depth of 1 to 2 inches. Seed or sod immediately. Reapply
every 10 weeks at 20 lbs. Per 1,250 sq. ft. It is not necessary
to water in Chickity Doo Doo™. However, applying water will
activate the fertilizer and faster results can be achieved.
FLOWERS & VEGETABLE GARDENS: For perennials apply fertilizer early in the spring and again after plants have bloomed to give plants strength for the following season. Apply 1 lb. per 100 sq. ft. to base of plants and rake lightly into soil. For annuals, apply fertilizer at the time of planting at the rate of 2 lbs. Per 100 sq. ft. of seed bed and work into the soil. When flower buds have formed, reapply at 1 lb. per 100 sq. ft. and rake lightly into soil. For other small applications, two cups of Chickity Doo Doo™ equals 1 lb.
SHRUBS: For single shrub planting, the amount to use will depend upon the size of the shrub. We recommend mixing one cup of fertilizer into the soil used to fill around the root ball. For new shrub beds, apply fertilizer into the soil at the rate of 2 lbs. Per 100 sq. ft. and work thoroughly into the soil before planting. For established shrub beds, apply fertilizer around the base of the plant and scratch lightly into the soil using one cup for each plant. This should be done twice a year (early spring and early summer).
TREES: Apply Chickity Doo Doo™ once each year in the spring. Depending on the size of the trees, use 3 lbs. of fertilizer for each inch of trunk diameter measured at chest height. (A small tree with a 4 inch diameter trunk would need 12 lbs. Of fertilizer). Pour fertilizer to within 4 in. of top of 1 in. diameter holes, 12 to 15 in. deep, spaced 2 ft. apart spreading from tree trunk to outer edge of branches. Cover with soil.
