Usually adding fertilizer directly after transplanting anything is not a good idea, unless it is
something really mild, such as bone meal or blood meal. That can be mixed right into the
soil you fill around the roots.

You should wait at least a couple of weeks before applying stronger stuff. If you still have
some left on the surface, scrape it up and set it aside in a bucket to be re-used in a couple
of weeks. If you get some soil with that scraping, that is alright too, since you will just put
it back, when the time comes.

Good luck again,
Olaf
