How many pounds for 1,500 square feet? Also, can I apply this a month before I start planting?

Most people use 1 or 2 pounds per 10 square feet , I on the other do not use the Azomite in that manner. I mix 1 whole bag per 160ibs of compost and organic soil. Yes you can apply the Azomite a month before planting in your soil.

I would use the entire bag for 1500 square feet. Yes, you can use it a month before planting. I tilled mine in 5 MINUTES before planting. My fall garden looks great. Broccoli and Kale especially strong

Azomite recommends that for 12,000 - 15,000 sq. feet you would need a 44lb bag and that is for lawn/landscaping. I have a garden that is roughly 500-700 sq feet and I would use the entire 2lb bag. I generally get a 10 lb bag of azomite and apply 2lb twice a year. This is not fertilizer so it won't burn your plants, thus you can use considerably more than is recommended. So to answer your question, you would want at least 2 (2lb/ea) bags. I would go for a 10lb bag, use half, then re-apply late fall.

I have owned this product since early spring and used it throughout the summer. A couple of weeks ago, I took out my spring/ summer plants and emptied it completely. Then, I put all new soil in so I could plant a mum and some pansies. In other words, this information is fresh in my mind. I bought a 2 cu ft bag of Miracle Grow's Garden Soil, and used ALMOST the entire bag. I had just enough left over to fill a couple of pots. So, my answer is that this requires a little less than 2 cu. ft. Hope that helps!

I do not calculate when I use as it all depends on how deep and how well spread you mix it with ground soil. But I will use about 5 -10 pounds at least. Since the granule is fine, it will soak well and penetrate deep as time goes on. it works really wel here for my desert soil to grow tropical plants and veggies. Be generous is my principle.

Go to nearest hardware store and copy instructions from "ROOT KILL" product. 2nd option is 2-6lbs twice a year, putting 1/2 lb in toilet and flushing, do this over a several weeks time for tough root problems. Get yourself some plastic containers that can hold a 2lb capacity and keep them on hand, I usually buy 25lbs.. The first time you start doing this treatment go for 4 lbs and see if it works and adjust up or down accordingly. I like the adage " a little over a long time" once it kicks in you do it every year (twice during the first year). Good luck !!

This is a 1 pound package. If you want to plant it all at once you would probably need to do it outside as it would probably cover 10 to 20 square feet.

I used two bags of 2 cu ft sized garden soil which filled the bed 3/4, leaving an inch or two of siding exposed. Another reviewer recommended 3 bags. I'm only starting flower seeds so I think it depends on what you will grow and how big the roots will be.

I use one package for my entire yard which is about 1500 sq. feet and have noticed very good results each season.

mix 2 pounds per 30 gallons of water. Spray each tree untill the leaves are damp on both sides but not dripping. Start spraing at first leaves and spray every 2 to 3 weeks untill arround the first of June. hope this helps you.

No, it appears the cost would be prohibitive - since you aplly this stuff every 7 to 14 days and 1 pound covers about 400 square feet - to cover one acre (approx. 43,500 feet) would then take about 100# every 7 to 14 days.

Always buy more than you need. Reason being, your not guaranteed 15 linear feet. Some spray real good and you get about 15 sq ft, others a little less. I had a bad one that didn't spray but a couple of feet, a dud! So get at least 4 or 5 to cover your needs. You could also look and buy a 100 sq ft or larger, maybe a better deal for your situation?

Yes most people use it on lawns. It does not have a specific scotts spreader setting. You would apply at 3.5 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. for Lawns

It really depens on how ong it will be before you can water the plants again. I use one large for each pot and some of the pots are 12" wide. If I was going for more then 4 days then I use 2 bulbs. We live in NM with little rain.

Thank you for contacting us. Yes, it's ready to use. A 5 gallon container will provide coverage of about 5000 sq ft or the equivalent of 250 lbs of salt. Please reach out if you have any other questions.

Depends on your needs. I used the entire package to get 13 plants through a nasty drought. The plants were in the ground and I bore holes in the soil around the plant and dropped some crystals in. Worst case scenario if you use too many will leave you with crystals working their way to the surface. Not a concern with me. One tablespoon per US gallon should be plenty for lots of applications.

one plant will actually cover 70 sq ft over time. I broadcasted my seeds by hand in area just over 5000 sq ft. Make sure you purchase the powder to activate your seeds. Check the Dirty Gardner. Plants are starting to sprout after 12 days. From what I understand it will take two years before they really take hold. Do not cut them at all during the first two years they will die off.

Mr. Harry:I had to do some math to figure out that also. I see I wrote down 1/3 oz. for my 2 gal tank sprayer. Six teaspoons make an ounce, so I use 2 teaspoons for my 2 gallons. Therefore you only need 1 teaspoon for 1 gallon. So far I only used the product for one application because fall came and grass was going dormant. I did after several weeks start to get that frost look, but what I read is that it really needs 2-3 applications. Another trick I use is to add some Bonide Spreader Sticker to the mix. It provides adhesion of the tenacity so it sticks better to the vegetation and lets it perform better. I bought that on Amazon also.

Well, a gallon is 231 cubic inches, so if your coating thickness is about 4 mils (0.004 inches) then you get up to 400 square feet. However, since you want this to soak in as much as possible, you might want a thicker coat, say 10 mils (0.010 inches) which would give you about 32 square feet. What really matters is not the coverage, but the ability to seal the grain and that depends on the type and moisture content of your wood. For purchasing decisions, I would use maybe 100 to 200 sq. ft per gallon for the first trial and then use experience to determine how much for the next purchase.
