Feeding Your Garden

Large Tablets

Most plant types other than leafy
greens and woody herbs, need the
higher amount of nutrients found
in the Large Tablets after 4 weeks
(i.e. the third feeding after planting.)
Mint, basil and cilantro are exam-
ples of herbs that grow
well with 2 Large
Tablets at each feeding
for the remainder of
their life cycle.

Gourmet Herbs grown with a

combination of Small and Large

Nutrient Tablets.
