    When should I use garden nutrients?

    Garden plants can be fertilized multiple times throughout the growing season! The amount will vary depending on the planting area and the type of plant you’re feeding, but it’s best to apply every 4-6 weeks—or as instructed by the label. Here's a general overview:

    • Flowers and perennial plants: Spring to summer*
    • Vegetables: During the growing season*
    • Trees and shrubs: Spring

    *As long as plants aren’t heat or drought-stressed. It's best to avoid feeding stressed plants and allow them to recover instead.

    Organic garden nutrient FAQs

    How and where do I store garden nutrients?

    Store this product sitting upright with the bag sealed tightly. Do not store in excessive heat or freezing temperatures. You may reuse fertilizer over multiple seasons but shake the bag to loosen granules before each use to ensure uniform application.

    How do I use this with other Sunday products?

    Treat weeds with Sunday weed control before applying your Sunday organic garden nutrients. Why? This prevents your feeding weeds when mixing garden nutrients into your planting area.

    If you’re using any pest control products, make sure you apply those after watering in garden nutrients to avoid any disruption to pest control baits or liquid products.

    What if I apply out of order?

    If you applied garden nutrients before removing weeds, water in your garden nutrients, then remove and treat weeds. Just be careful not to apply weed control to garden plants or seeds!
