I just received my Fert-All Calcium 12 today. I states to use 1 gallon/acre. I have nowhere near an acre of anything to use it on....I assume 1tbsp/gallon h20, but this is just a guess. Is there anybody out there that has used this and can offer some advice. Can it be added to Neptunes Harvest and Alaska fish emulsion (all 3 together). One more, it says nothing about being chelated, do we just asume it is chelated because it is in liquid form? Thank you. Sorry, just thought of another question...can it be applied as both a foliar and a drench. Ok, no more q's :)

One gallon = 128 oz
One Acre = 43,560 sq ft

So: 128 divided by 43.45 = 2.9 oz per 1000 sq ft.

Most plants are now around 500 sq ft (give or take - meanure yours)

So a 500 sq ft plant wants 1.5 oz or 3 Tablespoons.

So this material is likely applied at the same 2-3 oz per gallon as all the other materials I've ever worked with.

However, just because it's a liquid doesn't maen it contains a decent chelating agent. There are more than a few cheap liquid Calciums that are just finely milled Calcium carbonate with some emulsifier added to water.

I'll try a search.

Tremor-
Thanks for the feed back...
I just read a post you made back in Jan. and apparently I just purchased 30$ worth of a product I shouldn't even be using?????
Do you or anyone else have a link as to where I can order the right chelated calcium product? I tried googling it and found very little other than stuff from health food stores.
