Pro-Tips from Kent Countryside Nursery:

  • Put It Where the Roots Are: Unlike traditional fertilizers that you sprinkle on top of the mulch, Bio-tone needs to make direct contact with the roots. Always mix the granules directly into the soil you use to backfill your planting hole.

  • Great for Local Clay Soils: Here in the Carmel area, our soils can sometimes be heavy or compacted. The beneficial microbes in Bio-tone actively work to improve soil structure and aeration right around the root zone.

  • Planting a New Lawn? If you are seeding a new lawn or laying down fresh sod this season, scratching a layer of Bio-tone into the topsoil beforehand will help your new grass knit into the ground beautifully.
