Do you mean 1000 sqft? The recommendations said 5 lbs per 1000, not 100.
Just want to make sure. 10 times the needed N would be a problem (not saying
you are wrong, just that 10x would be bad). Vigoro has some 12-0-0
bloodmeal, and bonemeal 1-11-0, would these be fine for that? As for the two
weeks, I suppose I could just put in in most of the garden (except where I
am starting the plants) since I want to plant next weekend. Should they be
tilled in, or is spreading and watering enough?
Thanks
