It will evenly spread it for you... I do it to boost plants in the summer when they need a bit of TLC...

I don't think there's a hard and fast rule; it depends on which crop, how long it's in the ground, what sort of soil you have, and of course the weather.

My sandy soil leaches nutrients very quickly, especially in wet weather, so a quick crop like radish or lettuce would probably only get fed before sowing, whereas something like leeks would get at least 2 additional feeds throughout their long growing season.
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
