Hi Cap, thank you for helping everyone out with these bennies. Received my trifecta pack on Monday. I have a quick question about the dilution rate for the Foliar Pack.
When using the Foliar Pack straight away (non-tea) the instructions say to use 1-2 tsp/l. When making the tea (to be clear, I plan on brewing the tea) the recipe calls for 1Tbsp/gal of the Root and Foliar packs. However, when using the tea we are instructed to further dilute the tea (finished product) to 1-2 cups tea per 5-10 gallons RO water. That's fine, in fact that is GREAT; but I am worried about it being too dilute considering the huge difference between 1-2 tsp/l (non tea), and 1 cup finished tea per 5 gallons of water.
I plan on using the tea per your recommendations, and from all the positive feedback you have received I'm pretty excited. When brewing a tea, do the organisms in the Foliar Pack multiply the same way the organisms in the Root Pack do? Simply wondering why such a great difference between concentrations between tea and non-tea. I am battling root aphids, or some type of soil mite that seems to be damaging my garden and want to rule with an iron fist. Also, is it best to add the foliar pack at the beginning of the tea brew, or for the last hour or two?
Thank you for your time and advice,
