Instructions
MAXSEA PLANT FOODS are an excellent choice for foliar or root feeding, as well as for use in hydroponic systems. They are easy to apply using hose-end applicators, drip systems or fertilizer injectors . . . or simply by using a gardener’s watering can. One tablespoon of Maxsea yields one gallon of plant food.
