What To Do With Old 4-5-4 Plant Food?
Q: I just discovered an unopened bag of 4-5-4 plant food I purchased for my azaleas. It contains “material recycled from the food processing industry, formulated specifically for all acid-loving plants…” What would you suggest I do with it?
A: The 4-5-4 analysis and the ingredient notes tell me is this is a slow release, organic fertilizer that is perfect for azaleas. Since the nutrients will not dissolve quickly, it is not a problem to fertilize your azaleas now. Nutrients will be slowly released in the winter and next spring.
