Follow the instructions for use on the package. Fill up the hole with garden soil. Slightly press the soil around the base of the plant to favor the contact between the roots and the soil. Water regularly every 2 or 3 days until the soil is well compacted.Note: Calendula mixture deters worms from tomato plants, Nasturtium mixture traps aphids, deters squash bugs and striped pumpkin beetles and Marigold mixture controls nematodes, deters aphids and whiteflies.
