Hummm, I was using 1 to a gallon I will have to find that notebook.

I am so blessed to have an unlimited source of worm castings at such a low price that I actually use little fertilizer through the summer, I get wonderful growth. I use it in the late winter early spring for seedlings then to wake the plants up. Onc I have them outside freshly potted in my home made potting mix they grow so fast. I just feed once a week, then as I have said before, I mix up a batch to suit what I feel I need then. I start with the basic mox and add what I think they need. Works for me.

This picture was taken July 2 last year, these plants where all from cuttings taken April 22. Most of these plants where well over 5 feet tall by late august and many where even taller. I use Wal mart brand potting soil, worm castings and a few batches of home made fertilizer.
