FERTILIZING LADY BUG STYLE

TEST YOUR SOIL:
A soil test is your road map to successful gardening. Follow the suggestions of your soil analysis. For recommended testing labs,
stay tuned to this Web site or ask your local nursery or Agricultural Extension Agency.

HOW MUCH & WHEN TO FERTILIZE:
Apply 10 pounds per 1000 square feet. Always rake in fertilizer and thoroughly water. Feed in early spring (for lawns, after the first mowing) to boost plants after winter dormancy, in early summer for continued growth and to brace them for summer heat, and in early fall to nourish them before
winter. For poor lawns and landscapes, we suggest starting with more frequent feedings (up to 6 per year) using only 5 pounds per 1000 sq. ft.

We recommend spraying Lady Bug Terra Tonic between feedings to encourage the
natural processes in your soil and maximize the effectiveness of the fertilizer.

APLICAR 10 LIBRAS POR CADA 1000 PIES CUADRADOS. Es recomendado aplicar Lady Bug 8-2-4 al principio de la primavera, del verano y del otoño.
Recomendamos aplicar Lady Bug Terra Tonic junto con 8-2-4.

MAINTENANCE:
After fertilizing for two years with 8-2-4 and Terra Tonic, the number of yearly applications can be gradually reduced. Aerating, using compost, leaving grass clippings and maintaining with Terra Tonic can dramatically reduce or eliminate your lawn and garden’s dependency on fertilizers.
Despues de fertilizando su tierra por dos años con 8-2-4 y Terra Tonic el uso de los mismos disminuira gradualmente.

FOR NEW LAWNS, work 8-2-4 into soil prior to seeding or laying sod. Use same application rates.

BY BUILDING HEALTHY, LIVING SOIL, THE LADY BUG METHOD IS EFFECTIVE AND ECONOMICAL.

One pound of fertilizer is 3 cups.

“Did you knowthat grass clippings contain 30-50 percent of the nutrients required by your lawn each year? Let nature feed your plants by leaving grass clippings to decompose on your lawn and by using compost to replenish organic matter in the garden. But when your soil needs additional nutrients in a balanced, easy to apply form, Lady Bug 8-2-4 is your best choice.”
