Vegetables Gardening - Growing Organic Vegetables

Hi, just curious if you could tell me how long these micro nutrients last or how much area they cover. That way I can kinda plan for my spring garden and start budgeting. Maybe even try my hand this winter in the greenhouse.

thanks, LaDona

The Micro-Nutrients have an extremely long shelf-life. Just keep them dry.

One package (2 packs) weighs 20 ounces. It is mixed with 50# of 16-16-16 or similar NPK plus 8# of magnesium sulfate (Epsom Salt) to make almost 60 pounds of Weekly Feed Mix.

One pound of WF will feed a 30'-long 18"-wide soil-bed or Grow-Box for one week.

A crop like cabbage only needs to be fed about 5 times.

An ever-bearing crop like tomatoes is fed until 8 weeks before the first killing frost. In temperate climates this might be 10-12 times, and in warm climates it could be as many as 16 - 20 times.
