Just looking to see who was using it at what rates and will you use again next season. Also at what growth stage were you using it?

Steve, I'm surprised that there has not been at least a few responses here as my understanding is that alot of HHs use calcium nitrate (maybe it is one of those untold secrets) and I was advised to use it a couple of years ago to boost not only the calcium but the nitrogen in my patch.

I now use it every year (based on soil test results) and also use it in my fertilizer injector on a semi-regular basis during growing season.

Some good inputs at;

That should give you some good reading and if you need more, just use the search for calcium nitrate and more hits will come up....good luck!!
