and Garden Feeder, in addition to your regular feeding program, can greatly increase your
crop production. Avoid wetting of foliage as this can encourage disease problems.
Fertilize with ferti-lome Vegetable Garden Plant Food (small gardens) or ferti-lome
Gardener’s Special (large gardens) every three to four weeks during the growing season. Use
ferti-lome Tomato Food on all varieties of tomatoes for increased production.
Choose an area that will receive full sun and good air circulation. Vegetables will do best when
planted in raised beds. Ideal planting mix is sandy loam and organic material (peat moss) in
a 50/50 ratio. Good drainage is the foundation of good gardening. Incorporate ferti-lome
Gardener’s Special into prepared soil. Set out vegetables or vegetable seeds. Consult your
local ferti-lome Dealer for correct varieties and optimum planting dates in your area. The use ges==
of ferti-lome Root Stimulator and Starter Solution at planting time will greatly reduce eE
transplant shock and help plants resume their normal growing habits more quickly.
