Pretty much. I would mix as advised on the bottle, then add maybe about half as much again water. It lasts pretty well in a watering can for several days. After a week, I don’t put it on pot plants, but donate it to the lawn or the nature strip trees. I tend to eyeball measurements, but as most of my plants are outside and get extra dilution from rain it’s not a huge issue for me. For inside plants, maybe use it at ‘cordial’ concentrations - that is, for each half cup of pure seasol, add 1 litre of water or more.
Next time I’m just digging slow release granules through the soil before planting and being done with it. -_- I would have but they had spoiled/bloomed, potentially from moisture getting in
Dilute in half for soil use I think. That is, one cup of spray to one cup of water. Then soak soil every 3-4 days. The mixture will keep for at least a week or longer in a closed container in the fridge or even in cool spot as the weather is about to fall on its ear again. I would discard any diluted mixture after a week of hot weather if kept at room temperature. Or possibly donate it to the street tree or another outside plant.
I’ve ordered some Powerfeed as apparently that’s a fertiliser and Seasol is a soil conditioner… and they’re meant to be mixed? I’ll just have to be careful a certain someone doesn’t try to taste
Thanks, I was considering just grabbing the normal Seasol in my next Woolies order… but if it really won’t harm it.
Is the dilution ratio the same?

It’s in a spray bottle labeled for foliar use and is meant to be sprayed on undiluted, does that still apply? This is the one I was brought https://www.seasol.com.au/products/seasol-foliar-spray/

Thanks. Foliar spray is a new one for me
Be careful with those, a lot have bullshit levels of cadmium. Worm casings are always good, and you already have mycorrhizal going!
