You'd be better side dressing your plants. Just sprinlkle a little around the base of each plant and then water. If you put it in the water you may "burn" the plants where the water touches it, but if you put it at the base of the plants and then water, it will filter through the soil more slowly.

Farmers often sidedress with amendments like this.
