Growing Tomatoes

Plant tomatoes deeply and add support when branches begin to flower to keep fruit off the ground. Fertilize again with Milorganite when the tomatoes flower. For more tips on growing great tomatoes.

Herb Gardens

Most herbs are considered to be “light-feeders”, they do not require much fertilizer. Milorganite’s slow release, salt free formula is ideal for herb gardening. Apply every six to eight weeks. For best performance gently work Milorganite into top 1 inch of soil.

Root Crops

Root crops (potatoes, carrots, beets, onions, turnips, etc.) tend to require high amounts of potassium for best yields and quality. Contact your local garden center for advice on supplementing Milorganite with this nutrient.
