How To Use 
Gro-Mulch is a three purpose product. It nourishes, conditions 
soil and mulches all in one operation. There is no danger of burning 
tender roots even when used in the pure state. Plants growing in Gro- 
Mulch need not be constantly fertilized for this substance releases 
plant foods for several years. The following plants thrive exceptionally 
well in Gro-Mulch—Azaleas, Camellias, Roses, Chrysanthemums, and 
vegetables of all kinds. 
Aunuals 
Annuals should be planted in well prepared loamy soil with 
enough Gro-Mulch to make the surface soil so light and fine that 
the tender seedlings may penetrate it easily. For most soil, one part 
Gro-Mulch to one part soil is a sufficient ratio. 
Because a perennial bed is permanent, it should have adequate 
drainage, texture, and fertility so that the soil will not need renewal 
or elaborate attention for several years. Dig the soil to a depth of 
eight inches, mixing with it a coating of three inches of Gro-Mulch. 
Butba 
Plant bulbs in a spot fully exposed to sun and far enough away 
from trees to prevent robbing the soil of moisture and vitality. Ap- 
ply one inch of Gro-Mulch and mix in the top eight inches of soil. 
At planting place a handful of Gro-Mulch around each bulb. 
Potted Plants 
Most potted plants will thrive best in a 50-50 mixture of Gro- 
Mulch and loamy soil. 
Trees 
Gro-Mulch should be placed in the hole when young trees are 
set out at a rate of no less than 15 pounds for a 5-foot tree. Large 
trees may be nourished by applying Gro-Mulch in post holes dug 
around the tree under the tips of the branches at a rate of 100 
pounds per six inches of diameter of the tree. A two-inch mulch 
should be worked into the top two inches of soil before the weather 
becomes hot and dry. A good application every three years is suf- 
ficient. 
Lawns and Golf Greens 
Gro-Mulch is very effective in renewing lawns and golf greens. 
Just spread the loose granules over the grass at a rate of at least 25 
pounds per 100 square feet of space and sprinkle well. 
Vegetables 
Prepare the vegetable garden soil, mixing about two inches of 
Gro-Mulch in the top eight inches of soil. A handful of Gro-Mulch 
should be placed around each plant at planting time. The more 
Gro-Mulch used in the garden, the better the vegetables will grow.
