Transplant Instructions:
Ball & Burlap or Container-Grown: Set
stock in planting hole and backfill up to 1/3 on root ball. Apply 1
lb. of product per caliper inch around the edges so it makes contact
with the root ball and mixes with the backfill soil. Finish
backfilling. Water until puddling occurs.
Trees and Shrubs: 1”-Caliper Bare-Root
Stock - Soak roots in water, then dust with a generous handful of
product. Next, place another generous handful in hole at planting
time. Water to settle soil around roots. Note, one “generous
handful” is equivalent to a ½ cup; 1 lb. will plant three to four
1”-caliper bare-roots.) When planting smaller bare-roots, adjust
your use rates ac cordingly. While dusting roots, catch excess
product to avoid waste.
Bed Plants: Annuals, Biennials &
Perennials - Prior to tilling the soil, apply product at the rate of
10 lb. per 1,000 sq. ft. with a broadcast spreader. For small-scale
plantings, apply 1 tablespoon in hole per plant (1” plug). Water to
settle soil around roots. (1 lb. of product contains 50
tablespoons.)
Seeding: Apply product to prepared soil
at the rate of 10 lb. per 1,000 sq. ft. (Follow seed planting
instructions).
Post-Installation
Instructions
It is more cost-effective from a labor
standpoint to use Correct Planting Routine® at transplant time. When
used at planting time, Correct Planting Routine® is delivered
directly into the root zone at the ideal rate of 1-lb. per caliper
inch. However, this use rate decreases substantially due to the
difficulty involved in getting product into an established plant
site.
- Recently Planted Trees & Shrubs:
Using a 1” soil drill or probe, bore eight holes 6-8” deep around
the perimeter of the root ball. Fill holes with product. Follow up
with deep watering.
- Mature Trees & Shrubs:
Option 1: The most practical way to distribute Correct
Planting Routine® into the feeder root system of a mature tree or
shrub is through double core aeration beneath the entire drip line
to trunk area (the more holes, the better). Apply product with a
broadcast spreader at the rate of 10 lb. per 1,000 sq. ft. Follow
up with deep watering.
Option 2: Using a 1” soil drill or probe, bore holes 6-8”
deep per every foot in the area one foot outside of the drip line.
Fill holes with product. Repeat this procedure, working one foot
inside of the drip line. Follow up with deep watering.
- Bed Plantings & Turf: Top-dress
plant bed with Correct Planting Routine® at the rate of 10 lb. per
1,000 sq. ft. Lightly work into the soil. Deeply water. For small
plant beds, gently work one to two tablespoons of product around
each plant. Water. Lawn Restoration – apply product at the rate of
10 lb. per 1,000 sq. ft. with a broadcast spreader.
What Are Mycorrhizae?
Mycorrhizae
is a Greek Word for
“Fungus Root.”
Mycorrhizae are non-woody structures composed
of both root and fungus tissue. Native to forest and prairie soils,
they are also found in soils that have retained high fertility; for
instance, older residential sites built upon rich layers of topsoil.
When working in fertile soil, one will find networks of white
hair-like fibers – these are mycorrhizae. Soils that have lost their
mycorrhizae have lost their ability to support plant life.
Mycorrhizae has become the landscape industry‘s “buzz word” because
urban soils have become depleted by construction and chemical
practices. Today’s technology now makes it possible for us to
deliver mycorrhizae into the root zone as the primary step toward
building soils that support our landscapes. |
