Avoid direct, undiluted, contact with tender young plants, scattering pellets about 50-80cm (2-3in) away and work into surface of the soil. Repeat at 2-3-week intervals for heavy feeders such as tomatoes and beans. Roses: Use two or three handfuls to each rosebush when planting, one or two handfuls for established bushes when the buds begin to swell and again before the second flush of blooms. Lawns: Aerate well, scatter approximately a handful per square metre - brush well into the holes to enrich the soil under the turf. Water well.

Safely dispose of the bucket when empty. It is made of recyclable polypropylene. If you are allergic to chickens or feathers, avoid directly handling 6X Manure or breathing the dust.

Coverage The application rates quoted are for use as a rough guide. For general digging, feeding and soil conditioning, one bucket will treat about 36 sq.m of ground (44 sq.yds). For lawns allow about 110 sq.m (132 sq.yd) per bucket.
