HOME OWNERS

Directions for Yard, Garden and House Plants

  • Shake well before using, prepare for one application ONLY.
  • Mix well with water. Dilution rate 2 ounce per gallon of water.
  • Use ALL of the mixed solution.
  • Rinse hands and equipment thoroughly after use.

House Plants - Use 2 tablespoons per gallon of water. Feed once per month.

Outdoor Plants - Use 2 to 4 ounces per gallon of water. Feed flowers and vegetables every month. Apply by foliar spray until leaves are wet, top and bottom. For best result foliar feed early in AM or late in PM.

Lawns - Use 4 to 6 ounces per gallon of water monthly. Note: One gallon of fertilizer mixed with 30 to 40 gallons of water will cover 1/4 acre. Foliar feed lawn every 4 weeks during growing season.

Trees and Shrubs - Use 6 to 8 ounces per gallon of water every month during growing seasons. Foliar feed soak leaves until run off occurs. When planting NEW shrubs or trees use soil application 2 to 4 ounces per gallon of water at time of planting.

Compost Starter - Use 2 to 4 ounces per gallon of water once a month. Try to mix into compost for best results.

Direction for Growers, Commercial and Sustainable Agriculture

  • Shake well before adding water (See dilution rates per crop). The amount of water may be adjusted to suit your equipment and amount of leaf surface on plants. Mix and keep agitated while foliar feeding.
  • Be sure to use all material that has been mixed with water.
  • For best results saturate leaves, for foliar spray make sure temperature is above 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Dilution Rates

Foliar Applications: Use one gallon of MultiBloom® to 40 to 50 gallons of water. Spray in early morning or after sunset for best results. Spraying during the day WILL NOT BURN foliage.

Soil Applications: Sprayed with seed or side dressing with seed. Use one gallon of MultiBloom® with 20 to 30 gallons of water.

Arial Spraying: Use one gallon of MultiBloom® to 15/20 gallons of water.

Seedlings or Transplants: Dip in solution of 4 ounces MultiBloom® to one gallon of water, then plant.

Dilution Rates for Growers, Commercial and Sustainable Agriculture

Note: MultiBloom® has a shelf life of 5+ years

If you need assistance or have questions concerning our organic fish fertilizer (OF2) call 877-964-2887 or 1-800-CAT-FISH.

Once you have added water to MultiBloom® use the entire amount of diluted product. Do NOT store diluted product. Diluted material will experience microbial growth that will cause odor and render the product ineffective.
