HOW TO USE 
HOLMES DYNA-GRO 
There’s nothing complicated about Dyna-Gro. It is a basic 
natural organic product that builds, stabilizes and enriches 
soil while it feeds plants and promotes growth. Over-use 
cannot harm the tenderest plant, although it may stimulate 
sudden, lush and spectacular growth. However, like all good 
things, enough is enough; and the proper use of Dyna-Gro 
means both economy and constant improvement in both soil 
and plants. 
Use Dyna-Gro for Better Gardens 
Dyna-Gro solves over 90% of all problems in growing 
Azaleas, Hibiscus, Gardenias, [xora, Jasminum, Camellias; 
Vines, Trees, Shrubs; Palms and Citrus. 
Assuming your soil conditions are about average, use a 
one-third to one-half mixture of Dyna-Gro and top soil. Here 
are the proper steps for planting: 1. Dig a hole somewhat 
larger than that needed to-accommodate the plant’s roots with- 
out crowding, usually half as deep as it is wide. 2. Carefully 
dig out the top soil, piling it on one side of the hole. 3. Dig out 
the under-soil, piling it separately. 4. Throw in a shovelful 
of Dyna-Gro, then of top soil, until the hole is filled; stir and 
mix thoroughly, and pack solidly. 5. Re-dig an area large 
enough to accommodate the plant’s roots without crowding. 
6. Set the plant, refill with mixed Dyna-Gro, packing firmly 
around roots, and water well. 
Use Dyna-Gro for Better Vegetables 
Dyna-Gro works equal wonders with vegetables. Prepare 
the seed bed by mixing Dyna-Gro and top soil in equal quan- 
tities, by spreading 2 to 3 inches of Dyna-Gro over the spaded 
area, then re-spading 4 to 6 inches deep. However, we recom- 
mend the addition of Dolomite, Mineral Colloids or Agricul- 
tural Lime, as recommended for your area by your County 
Agent, or by mail from the State Experimental Station, Uni- 
versity of Florida. 
Use Dyna-Gro for Mulching 
Give your flower and shrub plantings, trees, vines, palms 
and citrus their biggest lift throughout the year by main- 
taining a continual top-soil mulch. A lightly distributed l-inch 
layer of Dyna-Gro retains moisture, prevents drying out and 
cracking of top soil, continually feeds its richness into the 
soil below. Every few months, spade or rake mulch into the 
top soil and add a new layer of Dyna-Gro. You'll be delighted 
with the care-free ease with which this method produces better, 
bigger, never-wilt gardens. 
When to Use Dyna-Gro 
In general you can apply Dyna-Gro compost at any time, 
before, during, or after flowering and growing season. Dig it in 
around the roots frequently and abundantly for bigger more 
spectacular blooms, growth. You almost can’t use too much. 
Use Dyna-Gro for House Plants 
For potted plants, mix one part Dyna-Gro compost with 
three parts good garden soil. Add Dyna-Gro to top of pot 
occasionally.
