I bought "Organic E.B. Stone fertilizer for Avocados and Citrus Trees" because it was the only fertilizer in the store with enough Nitrogen greater than the other two. The NPK ratio is 7-3-3.
The instructions were very hard to interpret. It said scrape the fertilizer on the surface of the soil and then water, but I just mixed it with the water and watered. Is this okay? It is organic fertilizer.
Also, it said for citrus trees in pots use 1 tablespoon per 6 inches of diameter per month. Therefore, my calculations:
1 tbsp = 3 tsp
(6 inches) x 1.75 = My 9 inch pot
(3 tsp) x 1.75 = 5.25 tsp per month
Month = 4 weeks
5.25 / 2 = 2.6 tsp per 2 weeks
Start off at 40% strength : (2.6 tsp) x 40% = 1 tsp
So I mixed "1 tsp" in just under a gallon of water. Is this too little/too much fertilizer and would 2.6 every two weeks or so be too much? Keep in mind, this is organic fertilizer.
Thanks for any suggestions.
