Full grown prune tree, banana trees, lemon tree.
Cruciferous and Solonacaea veggies, and
Strawberries.
On the veggie side i use 5l per 5m row.
On the trees - i use 5l each.
:-)
Remember - this is mixed with Sea-gro tho.
:-)
Sometimes i attach my feeder hose to the watering system,
and empty 200l drum of mixture indiscrimanetly over the whole garden
- esp beginning spring (Sep) and round March again.
:-)
The old lady that gave me this tip - swears by Brewers yeast for gaurding
against sickness,
and energising the soil.
:-)
I tend to agree.
:-)
