Hi Jose -

We used the rates on the labels of the products, since presumably, that is
what a consumer would use. If we're applying the tea 5 gal to the acre, and
knowing what amount of water you will use to put the tea out, then you add to
the tea the correct amount of humic acid to cover the acre.

With tea, you always use the water as a carrier, you make certain to put 5
gal per acre out.

Although this summer, when the extension folks started saying "severe mildew
alert" it worked better to up the rate of tea to 10 gal per acre for those
few weeks where mildew was thick in the air.
