Coverage varies by pot size, plant needs and application rate.

As a rough guide, based on feeding every two weeks for approximately 12 weeks, a 110g pouch will feed around 3–5 small pots (10–15cm), 1–2 medium pots (20–25cm) or approximately 1 large pot (30cm+). A 360g pouch will feed around 12–15 small pots, 3–5 medium pots or 2–3 large pots for around 12 weeks.

These are general estimates only. Applying smaller amounts or feeding every four weeks will make each pouch last longer.

Sprinkle Rich Roots around the base of your plant, lightly mix it into the top layer of soil and water it in well.

As a simple guide, use 1–2 teaspoons for small pots, approximately 1 tablespoon for medium pots, and 1–2 tablespoons for large pots. For garden beds, sprinkle lightly around the root zone. For new planting, mix a small amount through the planting area.

For established plants, apply approximately every 2 to 4 weeks during active growth. Use a smaller amount around seedlings, young plants and sensitive varieties.
