Boxwood Cottonseed Meal Recipe

Now is the time of year to feed your beloved Boxwoods. Follow to recipe below to give your shrubs a boost for Spring!

• 8 cups organic cottonseed meal (6-2-1)
• 8 cups composted cow manure
• ½ cup of Epsom salt

Mix thoroughly together in a large tub or pot, depending on what you have on hand.
Feed the boxwoods in early March with organic cottonseed meal, using 1 cup for boxwoods up to 3 feet across and 2 cups for boxwoods measuring 5 feet across. You can adjust the amount based on the size of your boxwood. Six weeks later, sprinkle 2 cups of the Eve’s Recipe mixture around large boxwoods and 1 cup around small boxwoods.

In early June, you can give them another boost by applying 10-10-10 fertilizer, available in your local nursery, around the drip line of each shrub.
