Here's a little secret. Use any natural soap as a wetting agent
for your sprays. You only need to add 5 drops per gallon. Works great!!!  Use Dr. Bronners Soaps

Plants need oxygen too. Try this..... Go to the drug store and buy the 2% Hydrogen Peroxide1..Add 1 oz per gallon to your spraying mixture. Your plants will love it. This oxygen will allow greater absorption of nutrients into their system.

A good addition to your bacterial spraying kit is apple cider! Apple cider or apple vinegar will help to incase the acidity of the water and allow bacterial sprays to work better. Only works where your water is alkaline

Developing a Spraying Program Here is a spraying schedule which you will learn to adapt to your own use. Follow it and learn from it.

WINTER Winter months spray trace minerals on bark of trees, onto leaves of plants. Spray once per month. Add very little bacterial to spraying's as they will not be useful in the winter months even in warm climates. Use formula #1 for this. Note : this is for Southern areas with warm Winter. You don't spray during snowing months.

SPRING Introduce bacteria as early as possible. Apply compost tea in spraying's. Use Nitron A-35, Agri-Gro, Roots or Shure crop to boost bacteria counts along with the compost tea. Add 1 lb. rock dust/5 lbs Maxi Crop to 5 gallons water, or use your own Superseaweed. Use gallon of this mixture per 5 gallons of water. This is the spraying mixture you will use. If you can't make your own Superseaweed, you can obtain the real SuperSeaweed from The Invisible Gardener. See Superseaweed.

SUMMER To 5 gallons water add the following: Allow to sit over night, strain into sprayer. « cup rock dust mixture (see above) 2 cups seaweed mixture (see above). compost tea bag 1 cup fish emulsion (optional)

FALL To 5 gallons water add: Allow to sit over night, strain, spray! 1 cup Fish Emulsion 1 cup Agri-Grow 1 cup Nitron A-35 1 cup Shure Crop 1 cup of your own liquid seaweed mixture 1 Tea bag of compost 1 cup. Rock dust
