Flicker this is all new to me. i had barely used it less than a month now.

Sherry... try some pet store, maybe u can find them there, after all this concoction is made for horse food. since this works for me, from here on in, the only fertilizer i will use is 16/16/16 and the AP.

Gretchen ... i mix the AP concoction into the soil and water well after each application... that way the mixture goes down into the root level.

Margie... give it a try, u won't regret it. i am very pleased with my experiment. the last few years, i have tried so many kinds of cheap fertilizer for lack of funds in the past. in those years, the only time the brugs i grew bloomed late Oct. and Nov. this is the 1st time, all my plants are blooming early.

Sue, as big as this property is [1 acre], the 32 gal. container, i soaked is used up in all the plants here. there are no left over. beside soaking overnight, i do not smell any funky or stinking scent.

i do not make compost tea, i just soak the pellets to soften it and be able to apply to the plants as needed.

if some of u would like to try, take a cup of AP, soak the pellets 3-5 times the amount of water. if u need to add more water to dilute the AP, do so. incorporate the concoction into the soil and water it down so the nutrient go direct to the root level of the plant.

here is a photo of the plumeria i added some AP concoction.
this plumy is blooming for the 1st time. i could hardly wait to see the bloom!
