The key to really beautiful flowers, vegetables, shrubs and trees is a consistent, properly applied feeding program. Jack's Classic® products applied every 7-14 days will make your plants perform to their best potential.
- Start early. Feed your plants as soon as you set them in your garden. Feed perennials as soon as they emerge.
- Use a hose end sprayer or siphon mixer (Visit Hozon) for feeding large areas. Jack's Classic works with all types. Just follow the manufacturer’s directions.
- Foliar feeding Works! Apply the fertilizer over the whole plant. Jack's Classic will not burn the leaves.
