Western Labs recommends to add during the season several times if your spring test says you need some. They say to apply 3-4 times during the growing season, and to never apply all the recommended amount at one time.

I applied some in spring (pre planting), some 2 weeks ago, and will add some more in mid August.
This is my first time to do this so I don't know how things will turn out, but plants look good this year.

I use 4 tenths of an ounce per gallon once a week. 10-10-10
Still have secondarys growing so figure it will benefit some.

I think that keeping the N going will help keep the plants healthier and even resist disease.
