I was wondering if anyone mixes dry fert with water and if so what ratio you are using.The reason i ask is that last week i was applying a dry fert and had about one tablespoon left in a gallon bucket and decided to add water and mix it up.After all this is one big science project isn't it?Well the plant that i put it on seems to be doing a little better than the others.Just wondering if anyone else has ever done this.Thanks

I have a 53 gal rain barrel where I put 1 lbs dry fert per week. After dissolving, I pump it out and apply. Works okay for me.
