My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

dilution factor for alfalfa tea

22 years ago

I usually ferment my alfalfa tea in a 15 gal tub(biggest I have) and add about two, one gallon pots, worth of alfalfa pellets, along with a shovelful of compost. Before dumping on the roses, I add a healthy dose of fish emulsion, kelp meal, and some epson salts. I then dilute this whole stinky mess 1:4. and give ~1 gallon to the big roses and 1/3 to the minis.

I have about 60 roses.

Am I under feeding? overfeeding?
