trying different things...

[samseed]

I have decided to split 1 of each of my plants,(cuke,tom,etc) and feed it liquid granular feeds,sulphate of potash,calcium nitrate to compare to normal organic feeds that i use,(chicken manure,bonemeal,etc),my question is that i have had these granular feeds delivered in clear bags with no hint of a clue as to a dilute ratio to water-watering can of 1.5 litres would be nice to know,anyone help?

Have you tried Google? If you type in the name of the product you should be able to find out the ratio of water to product. It works for me if I loose the destructions to anything.

Liquid granular feed?

Granular feeds are normally applied to the soil surface or dug in. They are soluble so will become available to your plants as they are watered.

hya Cropper-not Roy is it?

anyway i have granular feed -looks like perlite balls,i have calcium nitrate,potash granules-both look the same,i was wondering what the dose was to a plant when potting,do you mix it in with the potting compost or mix it in round the root when re-potting,i am growing in pots and buckets as my beds won`t be ready this season!Any help as to dosage for the calcium and potash would be appreciated i dont want to burn them you see.Has anyone dissolved these into water and used as a liquid feed?

You don`t get forwards by been backwards!!!

Has anyone dissolved these into water and used as a liquid feed?

50g in 5 litres of water or 100g per sq.m for root crops, according to this:Calcium Nitrate - £0.00 : Garden Direct, Weed Killers, Fertilisers, Garden Compost Products, Garden Fertilizers, Wood Treatment, Cuprinol Sprayer, Moss Killer

"Calcium deficiency shows as poor growth and specifically blossom end rot in tomatoes, heart rot in celery, tip burn in lettuce and bitter pit in apples" It's quite a specific chemical to use.

I'd prefer the balanced slow-release BFB myself

sulphate of potash

Google says: 35g feeds 1 sq m
