Hey guys, What is the best way and WHEN to use these two prducts. I'm pretty sure the Soluble humic is mostly a soil drence several times dureing the growing season ,and you can maybe use it on the leaves a little as well. The kelp can be applied as a drench and folular also seveal times a year. Can I use them my hose end applicatior and if so what should I set the dial on. Thanks in advance.

Hey Chris, the soluable kelp I use says to mix it at a rate of 100:1 so I fill up the hose end sprayer and set it to that mixture. Also, when mixing kelp and humic acid, I will use 75% kelp and 25% humic acid and spray away.
Mosly I use a pump sprayer pre-mixed so that I can also get under the leaves. I've got a much smaller patch than you and only 2 plants so it is not as time consuming as it would be for you.
I like to foliar twice per week with the kelp/humic mixture and do a complete soil drench once every 2 weeks so I hope that answers your when question too.

Use the Humic as a drench and in your compost tea. The Kelp, you really can't over do it, I would apply as a foliar feeding and in compost tea.
