What To Do With My 4-5-4 Fertilizer?
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.
