Lightly mix it into soil and water thoroughly according to the bag rates. Application rates vary by planting situation, so use the current label.

When should I reapply it?

Manufacturer guidance says to apply every 3 to 4 months during the growing season. Plant type, watering, and climate can affect the feeding plan.
