Perhaps I'm making this more complicated than I need to, but one aspect of using liquid fertilizers has never made sense to me.
There's lots of information out there about frequency or strength of liquid fertilizer to use, but I've seen almost nothing about the amount.
Let's say you dilute concentrated fertilizer in a gallon or two of water.
In a granular, inorganic soil like APL the vast majority of this water will drain out.
How much of this is the plant actually getting? Are you using just enough to saturate the soil as you would with normal watering? Do you use this prepared solution for several watering sessions until the can is empty and you resume normal watering?
