August 29, 2018
Third time buying this fertilizer for my holly trees, azaleas and other plants and seems to be helping the bad soil I have giving some nutrients to soil and plants. Only complaint is that is a little expensive and has a horrible poop smell for days.
My azalea thrive on this. I fertilize twice a year.
April 24, 2018
My azalea thrive on this. I fertilize twice a year.
The best plant food of this kind I know.
April 10, 2016
I am enjoying about 30 bushes of rhododendrons and azaleas on my property. Years ago I started with just few inches tall plants which after two decades grew into large bushes. The growth like that requires good nutrients and acid soil. Holy Tone Plant Food takes care about both of them. When plants were smaller, I used Holly tone slightly digging it into the ground above roots. Because I don't not shape or trim my plants soon plants grew into the thick brush. I am still using Holly Tone Plant food, I just toss it over plants just before the rain, or if no rain, I hose spray plants to wash off eventual fertilizer dust on plants. For more details about use and ingredients see pic 1-4.
What is nice on this fertilizer besides being organic, that the granule does not melt in the water quickly, so plants are benefited with nutrients gradually for longer time. Now I use this fertilizer pretty generously only at spring time. The bloom every year is rewarding. Besides azaleas and rhododendrons I use this plant food for few hydrangeas, magnolia tree, potted blueberries and other acid soil loving plants. All of them are doing great.
Great Fertilizer
March 31, 2016
I have been using Holly Tone Plant Food for about 2 years now. It was recommended by a manager at one of my local nurseries to help bring some spring flush to several of the bushes surrounding the foundation of my house. It did great last year after a very rough winter, and I will use it again this year.
It was recommended that I use about a cup every spring and fall. I did that last year with wonderful success. So when I saw the 8lb. bag available at The Home Depot, I grabbed it immediately. I will definitely recommend it to any friend or family member.
Excellent Organic garden Food!
February 28, 2016
The Espoma Organic Hollytone Evergreen & Azelia Food for organic gardening is of ecellent quality. I used it on the pictured plant. Within just one week I saw healthy new growth and blooms. As it is a slow release fertilizer that breaks down gradually it has a long lasting effect. This organic plant food also smells great and is easy to apply. I highly recommend it for all acid loving plants.
