I was wondering about the dilution rate of the soluble seaweed. How many gallons of ready to use (for AGs) does one pound make? It says something like 1 lb makes 15 gallons and I would assume that that is concentrated. Neptunes says a gallon makes 125 gallons or so, so I figured this would be comparable maybe. Thanks in advance. Rick

RTU usually means "Ready To Use" in which case there would be no dilution. On the other hand if the directions say 1:125 then that is the proper rate. The rate of 1 lb per 15 gallons could also be correct. Does Neptune's really make all three recommendations on the same label?

Neptunes says 1 gallon makes 128 gallons of ready to use. The soluble says one pound makes 15 gallons, then it says, "to reconstitute Soluble Kelp Powder, dissolve 1 to 10 dry ounces in 1 gallon of water." And to make me that much more confused it says on down the page, " Large areas: mix 1 gallon of reconstituted kelp with enough water to cover 1 acre. A 25-pound pail is enough to spray 38 acres one time."
"Small areas: mix 1 tablespoon of reconstituted kelp with enough water to cover 300 square feet".
