Directions for use: Berry fertilizer spikes are best used at planting or early in the season. Use two spikes per plant. Push spikes 1 inch below soil on opposite sides from each other in a circle 5 to 7 inches away from the stem. Add a new set of spikes 8 weeks later. 50 spikes per package
More Convenient
Granular fertilizers create a mess because they are loose, having to be measured out and applied at the surface. Spikes come premeasured and are easily placed beneath the surface. With no mess and no fuss, all a grower has to do is push or hammer the spikes into the ground, sit back, and let them do their work
More Effective & Efficient
Applied at the surface, granular fertilizers are often prematurely dissolved or washed away by rainfall. With fertilizer spikes being applied beneath the surface, they do not have this problem. Regardless of the weather outside, fertilizer spikes ensure continuous supply of nutrients to your plant. In addition to that, they work underground at the feeder roots to release primary nutrients where plants get their nourishment.
Slow Release Formula
The patented slow-release formula also prevents over-fertilizing or "burning" the plants from excess nutrients. Large releases of fertilizer, usually due to incorrect mixing and measuring, could damage the plant, but fertilizer spikes do not have this problem as a small amount is released regularly. Plus they are organic so they will never burn or damage your plant's root system.
