Really depends on what product you are using. The seaweed (kelp) fert that I use is 200:1 and the fish fert is 100:1

I think Tom meant 1/2 oz. I could be wrong, but I hope not.

Label says 1 oz per gallon, I just thought maybe Tom knew something I didnt.

LOL Not 12 oz that's for sure. 1 TBSP is 1/2 oz /gl. I checked a bottle in the garage & I used 1 oz or 2 tbsp.

So there you go about 200:1 ratio is right for neptunes too.

I am often asked about rates of application and use for products in the line we offer. It depends....and, nothing is exact, are perfect replies when using a truly natural and organic substance(s). The element of common sense, and certain not to waste, are adequate guides when using the manufacturer or packager's suggested rate of application. Could one use too much ? Sure, and that is where common sense takes control. So much is relative to the overall soil fertility, balance of elements and biological activity in that soil in one's garden. A little, a mild dilution, applied more regularly is a whole lot better than heavying-up....just because you might have "missed a few days". Be consistent, keep a diary of all such fertilizer applications, and keep a record of the weather that carries with the days. Sun, clouds, hot, cool, rainy or dry....all are contributors to the plants' needs and your program to dose 'em heavy, or not.

The use of synthetic, man-made substances with long, multisyllablic spellings.....now those are things that can really mess up your soil, and your plants, if one does not adhere much more closely to the label. If you want to maximize your foliar feedings do them at the right time of day, on leaves, stems and vines that cleansed (also routinely) with something like 'Plant Wash', and open up those stomata and surface cells while flushing the of fine grit, dust and pathogen precursors that will be there....so that the following day your foliar feed material can be more readily taken in.
