We had a bunch of new landscape beds planted last fall and I am wondering what I should be doing in terms of fertilizer. I am hoping that I can use one all purpose (preferably organic) fertilizer for all of them. Here's a list of what I have: hydrangea, roses, black eyed susans, day lillys, junipers, boxwood, birds nest spruce, mop cypress, russian cypress, ornamental grasses, japanese maple, crabapple, river birch, service berry.

I am hoping that someting like milorganite or ringers would be a good all purpose feeding for all of these, because I use that stuff on my lawn too. If so, how do I apply it, how often and at what rate? Thanks

+1 Simpson. I'm never that exact, I just throw the stuff on them when I feed the lawn. I use lawn rate for anything I'm happy with, two to four times that for anything I want to grow some more.

Soy, alfalfa, Milorganite, Ringers, it's all great.

Do you work it under the mulch or let it sit on top?

Just on top of the mulch and let it work in by itself. I won't disturb a soil (or mulch layer) unless I have a really good reason to do so.
