From the stand point of being good for the Environment...I strongly advise
against this practice. The soil will be either partially frozen or so water
logged that most of what you apply has the potential to be washed off and end
up as pollution in surface water somewhere. Please wait until you can see
those first Hosta shoots poking through the soil!!
Thanks for asking though...
