Questions & Answers
Yes, First year plants dose is 1 Table Spoon (tbs.) , 2nd year is 2 tbs. , after that is 1 cup. I once misread the label and thought it said lbs (pounds) instead of tbs Tablespoons, I caught my mistake just after watering it in, then scraped the fertilizer and top layer of soil up and tilled it into my large garden with no harm to either. Don’t make that same mistake I did.
One kit accommodates 4 plants, so you would need 3 kits for 12 plants.
It contains nitrogen, phosphate, potash, sulfur and magnesium.
We recommend you stop fertilizing around July 1.
It sounds like it's not getting enough sun; it needs at least 6 hours of full sun each day. A lack of phosphorus is likely another reason. We recommend this for citrus trees: //www.starkbros.com/products/tools-and-supplies/soil-additives/jacks-classic-citrus-feed And lastly, has it been in the same pot for 6 years without repotting? If so, it's probably root-bound, which will strongly affect production. Root-prune the tree and re-pot it with some fresh soil.

I have done it and so far so good. I was waiting to decide on a location around m place for the plants. I bought different varieties and didn't want them to cross-pollinate. I was trying to landscape with plants. The only caveat that I have is that I used 55-gallon drums cut in half as the planter to make sure there was plenty of room for the roots and so I could eventually replant them. This will be my fourth year with the plants in the drums and I am planning on transplanting them if it ever stops raining here and after I get the rest of my planting done.
All I ever used was the blueberry kit just as the leaves were starting to show like it says in the directions. Every time I did that the amount of flowers for blueberries were astounding. Kit alone did a awesome job for me.
I am sorry to hear that this has happened. Please email Info@starkbros.com with pictures and a brief description so we can look into this for you.
No this is not an organic fertilizer.
They require low PH
