Now that spring is in full-swing, it’s time to start thinking about your fertilizing needs.

Liquid fertilizer consists of crystals or liquid which get mixed with water and then applied over and around the plant. It is great for immediate nutrient absorption and use. But it does not last long and needs reapplied every week or so to supply adequate nutrition during the growing season.

Osmocote® is a dry granule that you sprinkle around the plant and mix into the soil. Each granule is coated with a unique resin that slowly releases its nutrients over a period of time. This allows continuous and consistent feeding throughout the season without additional applications. Osmocote® is an ideal fertilizer to use while planting your annuals, perennials and vegetables.

The amount used depends on the type and size of plant as well as the area size to be fed. Instructions for use are located on the fertilizer’s label.
