How to Apply
 | Place plastic cap provided on top of spike. |
| Drive spike into ground around tree or shrub
following the dripline. See package. |
| Spikes should not be placed closer than 2 feet
from the trunk or center of tree or shrub. If the
dripline is closer than 2 feet, insert spikes 2 feet
away from center of shrub or tree trunk. |
| Remove plastic cap, saving for future use.
Continue to drive spike into ground 2 inches below
the soil surface. |
Use the diameter of the dripline of the tree or
shrub as a guide to determine the number of spikes
needed per plant. Store unused spikes in a dry place,
ideally in a sealed plastic bag.
