Hi all. This is my first year and I'm pulling out all the stops! When I ordered my fish and seaweed fertilizers from Neptune's Harvest, they also told me I'd better by some crab shell and humate concentrate....So I did. Now what do I do with it? I've got Don Langevin's books but they don't say anything about how to best apply it. Can anyone advise where, when, and how often to apply both of these? Thanks.

**Neptune's Harvest Liquid Humates is used as follows:
Directions:
Mix 1/8 tsp. per gallon of water for foliar feed and 1 tbsp. per gallon for soil applications.

**Neptune's Crab Shell is used as follows:
Directions:
For gardens, till the Crab Shell in as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring.
For perennial crops, apply at the end of dormancy.
Mix thoroughly with the soil or growing media, taking care not to apply in concentrated form directly to the roots.
To apply as a soil conditioner for fruit groves, ornamental trees, lawns and turf, apply directly as a top dressing.

I hope that this helps,

Does humate really do anything as foliar?

We apply humic as a foliar through our compost tea, it is part of our tea recipe that we run through our irrigation system weekly. Foliar applied liquid Humic helps reduce transpiration water losses and provide a good environment for beneficial microorganisms on leaf surfaces.
