I'd say it's too much unless you have a deficiency in your soil. But I'm no fun and don't fertilize... I work in rabbit poo and compost. And that's about it. According to MG you are fine once a week, need it or not. I'm sure they are loving being watered regularly.

what the heck is MG??? ... ground up master gardener???

you do not have more cherry trees than i do .. ma nature washes them off.. crikey .... you probably clean your houses too ... lol ...

as to the maples.. you are probably fert'g them also ...

ken

ps: what strength.. etc ...

ken, yeah, ma nature will wash them off but I wanted them cleaned up before she was ready. I never fertilized until I started growing in pots and then slow release and a couple washes of MG. I add an inch or so of compost to all the in ground hosta.

I just thought if I was going to spray off the debris, why not use a weak solutioin of MG fertilizer.
