Does fall applied HI-COTE continue to work the following spring?

Yes, fall-applied Hi-Cote continues to work the following spring. We recommend applying HI-COTE 2-3 inches below where the spring seeds will be planted. The nutrients begin to release after the soil temperature reaches seed germination levels, typically about 2 to 3 weeks after planting. This ensures that the fertilizer follows the growth pattern of the plants and prevents burning the seeds.
