Q:Hello, I’m trying to figure out how much Osmecote plus I need to purchase. I have 300 feet of emerald green thuja that are 7 feet tall and 2 feet apart down one side of my yard. Down the other side I have 300 feet of Leyland Cypress that are about 3 feet apart and 12 feet tall With a stump stock base of probably seven or 8 inches. How much is “ a cap full”? and how many cap fulls per 50 pound bag? Thank you4/26/24A:1 capful equals 3 tablespoons. One lb of this product will cover up to 37 sq. ft. So to cover 300 sq. ft. you would need 8 lbs of this Osmocote Smart-Release Plant Food.
