When to Use Bio-Tone
Use Bio-Tone Starter Plus when planting your flowers, vegetables, trees or shrubs to help establish large root systems quickly. This product helps ensure that your new plantings get maximum water and nutrients from the soil by quickly establishing their root systems.
How Much Bio-Tone Should You Use?
The 5oz sample packet should be good for one 2-3 gallon plant or can be used on 2.5 quart or smaller plantings. If needing to feed multiple plants, try our 4 lb bag of Bi0-Tone and save!
Follow this table from Espoma for usage amounts:
| Plant Size | Cups | Lbs. |
| Up to Two Gallon | 1 | 1/3 |
| Three Gallon | 1.5 | 1/2 |
| Fifteen Gallon | 4 | 1-1/3 |
| 24″ Ball | 6 | 2 |
| 36″ Ball | 24 | 8 |
| 48″ Ball | 30 | 10 |
How to Apply Your Bio-Tone Starter
- Flower Beds: Mix into the top 4-6″ of soil prior to planting.
- Trees & Shrubs: Mix into the soil used to backfill the planting hole.
- Container Plantings: Mix thoroughly into the soil mix prior to planting.

I ordered 5 of these to go with the plants I ordered. I did not receive any of them.

Was disappointed that it did not tell me I would need the entire package for one plant so had to split this one between 3 plants.

One of these 5oz. bags is good for up to a 2 gallon plant; 2 bags for 5 gallon; 4 bags for 15 gallon. These are fantastic to add to your plant order, especially if you are getting just one or two plants. Makes starting your new plants off to be a success easy. Like that it’s all natural with mycorrhizae & microbes.
