Default i forgot the granular soil additive

Is there anything I can do about it without digging it backup? Would I be able to soak it in water and then add it to the plant?

If it is something like tomato tone you may just use it as a side dressing.

I'm sorry that I didn't include the specific type.
I'm not very well shopped on all of this stuff. I'm not sure what tomato tone is, but I have seen it mentioned.

It's called pure something, organicare?
Can I post a link to a picture of the stuff or is that unnecessary?


I appreciate your patience:
Also, when you say side dressing...you mean sprinkle on top and water as usual?

I know which one you are talking about. Yes you can use it as a side dressing. First rake away the mulch....apply the granules around the plant in the root zone but be careful ..not directly touching the stem of your tomato plant. Then reapply the mulch over it and water it in.

Work in into the soil around the plant down to 3" if you can so the roots will grow in contact with it. Some of the ingredients are soluble but the rest needs to be broken down by microbes.
