Tomato Garden

You say ToMAYto – I'll say ToMAHto

Tomatoes are one of the easiest plants to grow. You can do a little or a lot for the vines depending on what you want in the end. And if that's an abundance of plump, ripe fruit at harvest, then spend time getting the garden in shape.

Planting a Lawn or Ground Cover ( Download PDF )

Create the ideal gardening soil by preparing the soil properly for planting lawns or ground cover.

1. Clear the area of all debris and weeds.

2. Rototill or spade the area to breakup the soil. Check drainage.

3. Spread one cu. ft. of Kellogg Topper, Concentrated Nitrohumus*, Amend or Gromulch for every 10 sq. ft. Which Kellogg product used is based on soil type/texture (see Product Selection Guide below).

4. Work in the soil amendment by mixing thoroughly (6" to 8" deep) with existing soil. This will help improve aeration and water penetration, as well as, add nutrients and fertility to the soil. Rough level.

5. Install sprinklers. Rake, roll and level.

6. Plant lawn seed, ground cover or lay sod.

7. For lawn seed, follow manufacturer's directions, then: a) Top dress lawn seed using 1 cu. ft. of Kellogg Topper per 100 sq. ft. using a cage spreader or by hand; b) Roll over lawn seeds and Kellogg Topper lightly with a lawn roller and keep moist until turf is established.

Lawn Aerification

1. Water the area to a 3" to 4" depth. Aerify when the soil is softened with a foot aerifier or power driven aerifier spacing holes approximately 3" apart.

2. Rake and remove soil plugs. Overseed any bare spots.

3. Top dress the entire area with one bag of Kellogg Topper per 100 sq. ft.

4. Water thoroughly.

5. Aerification should be done at least once a year to relieve soil compaction, increase fertilizer, water penetration and promote root development.

*Use half of suggested measurement when using Kellogg Concentrated Nitrohumus!
