Potting Mix Base Mix as 1-2% of total volume (1ltr into 50-100ltr of potting mix). Suitable for use in all potting mixes including coco coir, peat and peat-free potting soils. For best results mix thoroughly with the potting substrate, moisten and leave for 24 hours before use. Follow up with top dressings every 4 weeks.
Container Plants Top Dressing: Add 0.75-1.5g per 1ltr of potting mix (1 x 20-40ml scoop per 10ltr pot). Immediately after applying a top dressing, water the pot well. Repeat every 4 weeks or as the crop needs.
Watering in Add 3-6g per 1ltr of water (1.5-3 x 60ml scoops per 10ltr of water). Stir thoroughly for one minute. Water the pot well until run-off occurs. Repeat every 2-4 weeks or as the crop needs. Leave tap water to stand overnight before use or, alternately, use rain water or filtered de-chlorinated water.
Outdoor Use-Soil/Raised Beds At planting or sowing: Add 50-100g per 1m2 (2.5-5 x 60ml scoops). Prepare the area for planting/sowing then lightly fork Charge into the top 10cm (4in) of soil. Follow up by top dressing 4-6 weeks later.
Established Crops Top dress 25-50g per 1m2 (1.25-2.5 x 60ml scoops). Evenly sprinkle the measured amount around the base of the plant and water in well. Top dressings can be repeated every 2-4 weeks during active growth.
Foliar Application Add 1-2g per ltr of water (0.5-1 level teaspoon). Stir thoroughly for 1min. Leave to stand for 15min. Repeat once, then strain to remove sediment.
