Anyone using this?
Numbers are 0-0-17.
I run a no till outdoor garden with mounds.
Every year I mix up a super soil, no peat mix of silt, sand and compost as well as amendments and add a cubic meter or so on top of the old mound and plant on that.
Growth is always great but every year I get a potassium deficiency in August due to huge growth and lots of water during the heat of summer. My recovery has generally been sulpomag as it is the only quickly available high potassium organic option. I run lots of crushed oyster shells in the soil to deal with the calcium for all this magnesium.
I already have kelp meal as well as liquid kelp I use but the K numbers aren't there. So this year I decided to try some GG soluble seaweed as well.
My question is how high can you dose this?
Instructions are only a teaspoon a gallon which I have been doing but it isn't very big number of potassium at that dose. Not really doing a lot I have still needed to go heavy on the sulpomag to achieve my goals. I do a tablespoon of sulpomag per gallon a few times as well as add 4 tablespoons top dress per hole once or twice.
Anyone experimented with higher doses?
My worry is the trace element level will be too high.
Keep in mind these are big plants. 8 to 10 feet and bushy.
