Use Uncle Earl's Favorite Fruit and Vegetable Fertilizer before or shortly after planting. Side dressing is a later additional application of fertilizer. Use 33-0-0 when side-dressing is recommended.
We highly recommend our customers take soil samples and consult their county agent to make recommendations for their specific needs.
