After feeding in spring, spread organic mulch such as compost or aged cow manure 2 to 3 centimetres deep.

You could also try organic rotten manure, leaf mold, or other green plant waste. | Medium | 32 degrees | The entire root system needs access to the fertilizer and mulch. For best results, gently push or dig some of the cover into the top layer of the soil after spreading the fertilizer and mulch around the plant’s base. |
