It’s in a spray bottle labeled for foliar use and is meant to be sprayed on undiluted, does that still apply? This is the one I was brought https://www.seasol.com.au/products/seasol-foliar-spray/

Next time I’m just digging slow release granules through the soil before planting and being done with it. -_- I would have but they had spoiled/bloomed, potentially from moisture getting in

Dilute in half for soil use I think. That is, one cup of spray to one cup of water. Then soak soil every 3-4 days. The mixture will keep for at least a week or longer in a closed container in the fridge or even in cool spot as the weather is about to fall on its ear again. I would discard any diluted mixture after a week of hot weather if kept at room temperature. Or possibly donate it to the street tree or another outside plant.

Thanks. Foliar spray is a new one for me

Be careful with those, a lot have bullshit levels of cadmium. Worm casings are always good, and you already have mycorrhizal going!

D:

I’ve ordered some Powerfeed as apparently that’s a fertiliser and Seasol is a soil conditioner… and they’re meant to be mixed? I’ll just have to be careful a certain someone doesn’t try to taste
