Can someone give safe Foliar feed recommendations? I've been using SeaPlus 3-2-2 liquid fish & seaweed but is it safe to use water solubles such as Peters 20-20-20 or Miracle Gro 15-30-15 and if so at what rate? Is it safe to use it at the usual recommended rate for ground fertilizing (usually 1TBS/gal--does anybody use more?) on the leaves without burning, and also, how many things can be mixed at the same time, such as insecticide, fertilizer, fungicide? And do you use a spreader-sticker additive to keep it from running off?
This is kind of a continuation on the "Fertilizing with hose attachment" thread. Thanks.
Mark
P.S. I'm also using drip irrigation with an EZ-GRO fertilizer injection system.

Yo korney, I use about 3x the soil rate for a foliar feed... worked for me.

I have been hammering my pumpkins lately with fertilizer via foliar spraying and I have not burnt any leaves yet. So far so good.
