• Application: Spread the substrate evenly across the soil surface, then work it into the top few inches using a garden fork or tiller.

2. Top Dressing (Application): For established plants, apply a layer of Paddy Poo™ around the base of the plants as a top dressing. This method boosts nutrients during the growing season without disturbing the plant's root system.
