A feed and forget fertilizer for all home and professional gardeners
One Application lasts all year long
Particularly Recommended For Long Term Feeding of Container Plants
Soluble fertilizer has been encapsulated into resin-coated pellets, releasing nutrients continuously, providing a constant flow of plant food just where it is needed around the root system.
Constant feeding gives steady growth and better results. Shrubs, trees and container plants will all benefit from constant feeding. Just feed once a year and forget.
Water is all that is needed.

Additional feeding
Will not normally be necessary for one year after application when further amounts of Yearlong can be applied according to size of plant. In exceptional seasons of high temperature and heavy rainfall Yearlong may become prematurely exhausted and supplementary liquid feeding can be given to vigorous specimens.
Note: The resin coating is not damaged by frost. It may remain in the soil after nutrients have been removed and will gradually safely decompose.
Storage & Safety
Store safely in the original container away from pets and children. Keep dry and re-seal after use. Unused product will remain fully active if kept totally dry and cool. Wash hands after use.
