Just wondering on how much chelated calcium I will need this year.
I'll have 2 plants in ~1000sq ft patch.
Intentions are to give foliar treatments as well as towel soaked baths to the fruit.
Will I need one gallon or two?
Thanks

One gallon should do it. If it's like our GreenFlo or Nutrical (10% Calcium 6%N) you'll mix 2-3 oz per gallon. So a gallon of concentrate is enough to make between 40 - 60 gallons of finished spray. Even at the fairly liberal rate of 2 gallons per 1000 sq ft, that should make 20 - 30 sprays. Plan on using a couple quarts of diluted material per wrapping I'd say.
I've heard of folks using higher concentrations. I can't say that the tissue testing I did this year would confirm this need.
Just check that these concentrations are the same before taking this to the "tank".
