Thanks; I don't think I was clear, though: how *much* does one apply?
I don't want to burn the plants, of course.  After all the calculating
and measuring the _mix_, there's nothing I see about measuring the
_application_.  It seems one could easily overdo it, particularly with
"chemical" fertilizers.

Sorry for the confusion, but any more help *would* be welcome!  (Yes,
I'm not a very experienced gardener!)
