Fish would be great. A weekly application would suffice, both foliar and ground.

If you look closely on the plant. Just to the left of the dipstick you will see a screw off top. Dilute 2 ounces fish and kelp to a gallon of water. Pour in. :)

Behave Shannon! By the way, the hopps have finally reached the house, thanks. Besides the dipstick part, Shannon's dilution rate seems correct. Also, you should check the washer fluid weekly, and grease the blossoms when the time comes.

Don't forget to rotate the vines every 5,000 miles. I would start out with a half strength application. Better too little than too much.

Shannon. Is that two 0unces fish and two ounces of kelp to one gallon of water? or is it one ounce of each? Stir not shake.

John mine comes premixed like antifreeze and water. I just mix 2 ounces, add two ounces of molasses and a splash of calcium for each gallon.

Pfan, not meaning to fan this huge flame, but everythin I got has lables, that give rates!!! I don't have them memorized, but one says 1 tsp per gal, and the other 1 Tbsp per gal. I read the lables each time, and mix them both w/ 1 gal water. Spray them both at once, and then drench soil w/leftovers. Adding a little other stuff is also an acceptable practice, Cal. etc. Some folks say no molasses on leaves, some folks do it. Hope this helps. As I thought from the beginning...some jokers around??? That's what makes it so much fun!!! Peace, Wayne

Pfan, I mix it and put it into a hand held, hand pump sprayer, and spray it on tops and bottoms of leaves!!! I then dillute the leftovers and drench around main planting spot!!! Peace, Wayne

NO...diltions are in ONE GALLON of water (as a rule).

What kind of material is this that doesn't have written instructions on the label?

Shannon, My plant still has the dipstick but I've somehow lost my screw on cap.. Is that bad for my plant if water gets in there somehow? Also I have run out of Blinker fluid and Headlight grease for my tractor, Can I use Fish for that?

Don't be sorry. There is no such thing as a dumb question. I had no idea what I was doing the first year and I'm still learning every day. Best of luck.
