You Will have to buy a couple of the big bags and use it through the season.
From the label for garden tone
When preparing gardens for vegetables or tomatoes apply 3.5 lbs. of Garden-tone per 50 square feet and work into the top 4 to 5 inches of soil. When possible, organic matter such as compost, humus, or peat moss should be mixed into the top 4 to 5 inches of soil.
- Feed seedlings and transplants one week to 10 days after planting.
- Single plants: Sprinkle 1/3 cup per plant.
- Rows: Sprinkle 1-1/3 cup each side per 5 ft. of row or 10 lbs. each side per 100 ft. of row.
Methods and Frequency
- Apply in a single band around single plants.
- Feed alongside of row. Keep 3 inches from stem. - Feed monthly throughout the growing season.
- Always water thoroughly after feeding.

Yep they had espoma at $10.00 for a bag of 8lbs. I would have needed 7 bags to start with. If my math is correct and i just didn't have that kind of cabbage to throw at this hobby this weekend. So I will go back to your original plan based on lack of funds.
The lime was a bust because all were Dolomitic so I just left them alone as well. I did buy two different non mechanical sprinklers for a song and able to do 900 sqft each. I am on a well with a spring running through so water is not an issue. I will just water in the Lime I all ready have.
I did buy some Alaska Fish Food and i have one of the big boxes of Miracle Grow.
Now that I have all of that 50ft tree cleaned up. I have one more 50 footer I am going to knock down today. At least this one doesn't have 35 years worth of poison ivy in it.
My lord what a mess that was... Hopefully I will get to the lime after I get the top half of this new tree out of my garden!
Thank you again. Your advise has been spot on. I wished i could have pulled the trigger on the Espoma but it just wasn't in the cards.
