I am acquiring both, to give me some choice. I've only just realised that I can't add it to my daff-potting compost because it would be some time after application before it was watered in the September monsoon, and it would have gone off in the warm compost by then. So it would have to be applied as the powder actually in the 'storm' water. Hope you're following this ::)
It would be fine for galanthus/trilliums etc though, because they are watered straight away after potting.
I will have too much for my own use so will be prepared to share with others, if they will pay the extra postage as well as a proportion of the cost.
Here is a summary of the application rates, but you might like to check my maths...
Trianum application rates
[/b]
1. Application and dose of trianum P
Apply 1.5 grams of TRIANUM-P per m² of cultivated area (suspended in 2.5 - 5 litres of water) immediately after sowing or planting cuttings (non-rooted or rooted).
Cultivation in soil at high crop density, with little space between plants (vegetables, herbs, bulbs, ornamentals, perennials and arboriculture)
Apply TRIANUM-P directly after planting, at a dose of 3.0 grams per m² of cultivated area (suspended in 10 litres of water).
Apply TRIANUM-P at half dose (1.5 grams per m²) if plants were treated during the propagation stage.
Repeat the treatment with TRIANUM-P every 10-12 weeks or after re-potting into larger containers, also using half the dose.
Cultivation in soil and substrate in rows, or at lower crop density, where plants are more widely spaced (vegetables, soft fruit, ornamentals, perennials and arboriculture)
Apply TRIANUM-P directly after planting, at a dose of 30 grams per 1,000 pots (suspended in 100 litres of water).
Apply TRIANUM-P at half dose (15 grams per 1,000 pots) if plants were treated during the propagation stage.
Repeat the treatment with TRIANUM-P every 10-12 weeks or after re-potting into larger containers, also using half the dose.
30g per 1000 pots = 3 g per 100 pots (doesn't specify pot size) suspended in 10L of water.
3g of powder will treat 1m² of planting or 100 pots
1 x 500g pack = 166 doses of 3g (5 lots of 33 doses)
2. Application and dose of trianum G
Mix TRIANUM-G mechanically with the growing medium, sowing or potting of plants. Dosage:
750 g/m3 of growing medium at first application
375 g/m3 growing medium at following applications (repotting)
Make sure that the material is evenly distributed through the growing medium.
1 bag of JI is 25L
I add same quantity of other stuff to give 50L
1m3 = 10x10x10L = 1000L = 20 x 50L
I need to add 750÷50g = 15g
15g of granules will treat 50L of compost
1 pack of 5000g = 330 doses of 15g (5 lots of 66 doses)
