How much is needed per plant? Peace, Wayne
When and where is it applied? Just at planting, or awl along, as the plant grows? Peace, Wayne

Some till it in with ammendments and then add a pinch at the nodes. Fur sure in the plant hole 1/4 - 1/2 cup. The stuff is activated by H2O and nitrogen but once its active, is it mobile in the soil? I think I read somewhere someone using 2 lbs / plant.

Bryan, no disrespect, but it takes a little time to figure out what I can get available to me and what I can send to Canada.
I appreciate your patience.

Tom - I purchased a gallon of 0-0-25. I do not have a soil test. Can you give me an idea how to mix for foliar feeding. Also how often should it be applied. When should it be started. I have a fruit set 1 week ago (baseball size)

Thanks Phat Joe Peter Mathonia pcmathonia@hay.net
