      Q:We use a hose end sprayer when fertilizing our planters. We have several hundred and this is the easiest way to make sure they all get the necessary nutrients. I know that there are specs on the actual sprayer, but it doesn't tell me how to determine the ratio for this product. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

      A:  Dear WOWK8, I don't think the Proven Winners Premium Water Soluble Plant Food is designed to go through a sprayer. If you wanted to try you would have to see how many gallons will run through it and mix 1 scoop per gallon with a little bit of water and put it in the sprayer. I hope this helps! Happy Gardening, Vicki-PW

        A:  Dont, it wastes it. Comes out way to fast. Best to use a five gallon bucket and pour what you need around the plant. Do not pour directly onto the plant, it can burn it up.

        A:  You can reach Proven Winners at their website at provenwinners.com. I am sure they will be happy to guide you. Hope this helps.

        A:  directions for using this product were clearly posted on the label on the product container. Included amounts to use for both indoor and outdoor plants

        by|Apr 13, 2019

        A:  for small areas like hanging baskets, you only need to use a teaspoon for each. If you are planting a large area a tablespoon or more for every 5 feet of garden area. My plants really look great so far & I am happy with this product.

        by|May 3, 2023

        A:  Mix according to the directions on the bucket and saturate your hanging baskets every 3 to 4 weeks. At the end of the season I put the remaining fertilizer in a zip lock bag and seal in the bucket. You will be ready for next season.

        A:  Measuring scoop included, just one scoop per gallon and feed your flowers weekly. Enjoy Dan

        A:  I always use the pelleted continuous feed fertilizer in my hanging planters. I mix a rounded teaspoon with the soil when planting 12+ inch hangers and then sprinkle teaspoon around the top of the soil so that each time I water it dissolves a little of each pellet and delivers the fertilizer to the plant. Then watering is easy throughout the summer. I use liquid feed fertilizer for in-ground plants.

        A:  I am using the water soluble fertilizer so I just mix up a one gallon batch at a time per the insturctions and then apply per the guidance chart on the container. For an 18 inch pot the chart recommends one gallon of solution every 7 to 14 days. One tablespoon of of the plant food makes one gallon of solution.

        A:  Hello Sharon, Thank you for the question, fertilizers can be a tricky subject. Our recommendations are the following: For slow/continuous release fertilizer apply four tablespoons at the beginning of the season and reapply after 6 months. For our water soluble fertilizer we recommend mixing one tablespoon of fertilizer into one gallon of water. Reapply this mixture whenever the soil is dry, so this could be every 7-14 days in the earlier part of the season and later in the summer that could be every 3 days. For your convenience there is a measuring scoop enclosed for easier measuring as well as more detailed instructions on the products. We hope this helps and good luck! -PW
