Can this be administered after planting such as sprinkle on soil and soak in, or does it need to in the soil as it is backfilled over roots?

sprinkling on the surface wont do much. spores need to make contact with root tips. Suggestion: depending on the plant and how delicate it is to disruption i would try to dig around its root perimeter, incorporate it into the soil (the depth should match about the height of the plant), then replace soil without packing too hard and water. Or if its in a pot, transplant it into a bigger pot and shake out roots before transfer. Mix it into the new soil and the symbiosis should take hold pretty quickly. Approx 1 week

My grandson lightly coated the seeds or brushed some on the roots of a re-pot and had great results. Knowing this, I would believe it would need to be backfilled over roots. The product needs to be in contact with the roots. Hope this is helpful.

I sprinkled some on soil and also on the root of plant than back filled, and watered.

Hello, Isaac, Your question is a good one. Since instructions were not included with the product, I also asked the same question. I have used the product 3 times this season, basically as an experiment. Made a liquid drench in the spring and again in mid summer on selected potted cacti (2 tsp to a gallon of water) . Also used it in a soil-less potting mix - just a sprinkle. In addition, I searched and found recommendations on the web. I did notice that the plants really "perked up", appearing healthier and more robust. The root systems on the seedlings that received the drench appear to be more dense. We live in southern Utah and my cacti were outdoors throughout the summer. I am planning to use it again next growing season but would really like to learn more about the prescribed or recommended usage. I would suggest experimenting with a few of your plants and track the results. I am a novice so don't want to send you any misleading advice.

Soak it in some water and lay it out in the sun for a while. When water is put into it it will swell up with no problem. I put mine around tomatoe plants and that's what I do. Also I've had problems with sand plugging it, so this year I'm going to put some grass mulch down before putting it in my garden.

I sprinkle the granules over the top of the soil so that it is slightly visible, much like when applying granulated fertilizers. Then I scratch it into the soil and water so it begins to dissolve into the soil.

I cannot say for certain, but you could take the precaution of spraying your shrubbery and grass and thoroughly wetting them before you apply the product, and when you are done come back over and thoroughly spray off the shrubbery and grass again. This should stop the product from sitting on the plant during application and wash off and dilute any product that remains on the plant after you are done cleaning.

I think we need to look at this from another perspective. You want to use this product when you are reasonably certain that the plant will take it up (i.e., absorb it). Since plants tend to be dormant in cold weather, mobility within the stems or trunks would be extremely limited. Thus, it is my practical belief (I am not a scientist) that a plant wouldn't be absorbing much of the Bonide during dormancy. My suggestion would be to wait for warmer weather before applying the product. Regards.

good question! I just started using it for my organic soil to grow my wheatgrass in. It says to add it to the top of the soil before spreading the sprouted wheatgrass on it. I plan on adding it to my garden, but don't know when to do this either. I ran out of it and my wheatgrass did not get as green or grow as fast.

Apply just like fertilizer. Preferably right before rain for quick absorbtion.

Soil would depend on what you are planting. I used Potting Soil for flowers. If veggies/herbs then garden soil would be fine. Also filled it almost to top (3 bags) and the flowers should drape over within a few weeks.

I pre soak in water you need to get them by the roots the best way would be to replant and add to soil but you could dig a trough and drop down around roots add soil on top if you don't soak in water first you can add too many and it will push soil out

You can sprinkle the Azomite over the soil or seeds if you like, you just don't want the Azomite to get into any of the tubes or they can become clogged. thank you.

You need to mix it with soil and apply it to the plants, messy but seems to work well.

I have not seen any significant spread .I also have patchy areas where just now I m realizing after putting down about a 1/4 inch top soil/sand blend and then reseeding that with the substantial rains this last 2 weeks in Austin that the seeds are getting washed out as my back yard is sloped (ie top soil gone and sand remains with bare spot) The good news is that I seeded the composted mulch the seed seems to be doing good and not washing out.

I don't know. My root from my tree that was exposed was in a rock area under the tree. The solution is pretty thin and it took just a little bit to take care of the problem. If you have exposed roots with the sprouts I would just pour some into a small container and use a paint brush to apply to root so the grass would not be touched.

Use after plants have settled in pot for a week. Then use regularly.... diluted as per instructions. I believe this product is totally organic also. Hope this helps.

Yes. I used it in Super Soil, and it works great if you add a little more than recommended. Hope this helps!

I use this as the "wicking" element to self watering buckets using potting mix and it works very well. Straight dirt . . . I'm not sure as dirt usually is quite soluble. Garden soil mixed with coir might do good.
