Do not apply directly to the plant leaves. It will burn holes in them when
moisture is present. I found that out the hard way this yr. I have since
applied directly to the soil and also dissolved some in water and applied
with a hose sprayer. Some growers like to hold off until September and others
will start applying now. Which is best, I don't know? But I would use it in
moderation. I'm sure there are others growers with greater experience than me
that will weigh in on your question.
Good luck.
