Jobes Heirloom tomato plant food question

jhouse · July 2, 2021

Hi all,

I thought I would try this Jobes Heirloom granular plant food, but am confused as to application -- and you can't call the company support number and get through to anyone.

My plants a just now setting fruit, I have a variety (cherry, roma, etc) of them. The package says:

2-5-3 (under the analysis section)

directions: established plants, 1 and 1/2 cup per foot of plant spread, feed plants at dripline.

Can anyone clarify that for me? I would hate to burn my plants. Thanks so much if you can -- I just used a liquid fert up until now and the plants are nice and healthy with quite a lot of fruit set.
