Application Rates For Household, Yard & Garden
House Plants: Use 1 Tablespoon per gallon of water. Feed every 2 weeks.
Outdoor Plants : Use 2 Tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) per gallon of water. Feed flowers and vegetables every 2 weeks. Apply generously to soil or as a foliar feed until leaves are wet, top and bottom. For best results, foliar feed early or late in the day.
Lawns: Use 4 ounces per gallon of water. One gallon of fertilizer mixed with 30-40 gallons of water will cover ¼ acre. Feed lawn every 4 weeks.
Trees & Shrubs: Use 8 ounces per gallon of water. Feed by boring several small holes in the soil 1 to 2 feet away from root ball. Fill holes with solution. Feed 2-3 times per season.
Compost Starter: Use 4 ounces per gallon of water. Mix into compost every 2-3 weeks.
Directions For Growers & Commercial
Agriculture
Agitate (shake well) before adding water. It is important to agitate
Organic Gem well to ensure a homogenous product mix, particularly
if it has been stored below 32° Fahrenheit. Add water. See "Dilution
Rates" below for specific uses. Extra water is not harmful
since it acts as a carrier. The amount of water may be adjusted
upwards to suit your equipment and the amount of leaf surface on
plants. Mix well. After adding water, it is important to agitate
(shake well) again. Be sure to use all material that has been mixed
with water. Do not store diluted material. Do not apply Organic
Gem when soil temperature is below 45° Fahrenheit, as the product
will not activate. Apply at (or just before) 45°F is reached
in the soil.
Dilution Rates For Growers & Commercial Agriculture
Foliar Applications: Use 1 gallon Organic Gem to 50 gallons of water. Spray after sunset or during the coolest part of the day.
Soil Applications: Use 1 gallon Organic Gem with sufficient water to cover intended area. Minimum dilution rate is 1 part Organic Gem to 15 parts water, sprayed with seed or side-dressed with seed.
Aerial Spraying: Use 1 gallon Organic Gem to 15 gallons water.
Seedlings or Transplants: Dip in a solution of 4 oz. Organic Gem to 1 gallon water, then plant.
