Directions:
New Plantings: Use 12-oz per each foot diameter of the root ball, or 12-oz per inch caliper. Mix into the backfill when transplanting trees and shrubs. Mix product in a ring-shaped volume of soil around the upper portion of the root ball, extending from the soil surface to a depth of about 8-inches (20-cm), and extending out from the root ball about 8-inches (20-cm) into the backfill. Apply water to soil saturation.
Established Tropical Trees and Shrubs: Apply as a vertical mulch using an earth auger with a width of about 2.5-3 inches. Mix 6-oz of product with soil in each hole drilled to a depth of about 8 to 10 inches. Drill about 4 holes per plant, evenly spaced around the trunk about half the distance between the trunk and drip line. Avoid damaging large roots.
Proof of Compliance with Specifications: The contractor will demonstrate compliance by showing invoices to prove purchase of product in sufficient quantity to cover the project at the rates recommended by the manufacturer. Include project name, date of purchase of product, and name of contact.
