Hi Yield Garden Fertilizer 8-10-8 (3.25 lb.) is ideal for vegetables, flowers, trees, shrubs, and tomatoes. For vegetable gardens and flower beds, apply 1 ¾ lbs per 50 sq. ft., or ½ that amount for supplemental feeding. For tomatoes, use 2 tbsp per new plant or 2 lbs per 50 sq. ft. for established plants. For trees, spread evenly under the branch spread, keeping away from the trunk, and apply ¾ lb per inch of trunk diameter twice a year. For shrubs and ornamentals, sprinkle a light coating in early spring out to the branch spread, adjusting amounts for plant size and keeping fertilizer away from trunks.
