    Follow the directions on the package of organic fertilizer you purchase for the correct amount to add to your pots. Essential oils are derived from many plants. There is no need to add essential oils to the plants.

    You can, simply, divide 1000 by 10 to get the calculation for 100 square feet! So divide the rates by 10 to get what you will need for that space.

    An all purpose balanced fertilizer like 10-10-10 in a slow release form is often recommended. You can also look up certain plant varieties on our website for specific fertilization tips. A soil test is always the best bet because it tells you exactly what nutrients may be lacking. Your local cooperative extension can help with a soil test or you can buy kits.

    Here is general info on when to fertilize:

    Since you have most of the values, just add the available Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium for each amendment. When you are using only half the bag, divide the elements in half.

    You don't say what type of tree you have; different trees require different feeding. If it's a fruit tree, here is information about using food spikes. If it is not a fruit tree, search our database for the type of tree at http://www.gardeningknowhow.com. You can also ask your local extension agent who will be well versed on the trees in your area and how to best fertilize them.
