Mixing/Strength Amounts
The amount of water used is not as important as how much of the fertilizer is actually getting to the ground. One cup of Super Juice dry mix will treat up to 3000 sq ft in the 7-1-2 ratio. At the stronger 14-2-4 ratio, that same one cup will cover up to 1500 sq ft. At the 7-1-2 ratio, each bag of Super Juice provides coverage for up to two acres.
We recommend using more water than less. When you use more water, you can slow down the spraying process and your walk rate, and really soak the grass and soil. This way you’ll not only have foliage covered, but some of the nutrients will actually reach the soil and upper roots. This is also a good rule to keep in mind during hot periods. Using more water and slowing down your walk rate while spraying puts down a less concentrated liquid, even though the same amount of dry mix is being applied to the same square footage.
Example
For a 12,000 sq ft lawn, add four cups of dry mix to a bucket, then add your water. Because you've mixed-in four cups (enough to provide coverage for 12,000 sq ft), it does not matter if you add one gallon of water or five gallons of water, as long as all of the mixed liquid is applied to the 12,000 square feet.
