How frequently, and so on? > > Thanks! -Allan Hi Allan I use a certified organic product called Humusol made in NewZealand from imported raw material derived from Leonardite. Manufactures recommendation 20 litres/ha autumn/winter followed by 20 L/ha spring in aminium of 400 litres water Best results will be obtained with 25-30 ml rain 5-10 days after cultivation. Because I like to spray each time I add something /cultivate the soil during the autumn > I do all my soil prepartion/ bed forming in the autumn cover with a light layer of wood chips and leave for the winter to digest I use the humusol at the rate 1-40. I spray with a mixture of 100 litres worm leachate, or water 2.5 litres humusol, 500 gms of Molasses[ I use a 500 gm honey pot and drop the whole lot into container and stir . A 10 litre knapsack will cover 300m2 at a slow walking speed. I then spray again after planting . This springs planting it will become part of a post planting sequential spray. Cheers Tony
