    For houseplants, two tablespoons for one gallon of water. If however you are growing sage, the plant will not appreciate your new found care.

    KK, You can sprinkle it on the soil and mix it in, dilute it into the water and water it in OR spray it right on the foliage. There is no wrong way to use it. We do all three methods with the spray being used when the fruit is closer to ripe than green stage.

    Thank you all and I will make use of all three ways!

    Yes it is indeed too good Sjoerd. I got it from a Pharmacy chain store which I had made a complaint about a year ago why they do not stock such a common item. Since then whenever I go into a pharmacy I'll look for it and was always disappointed until then.

    KK, This can do "double duty". On days when your feet hurt soak them in an epsoms salt foot bath and when the water cools off and you are done soaking your feet go dump it on the garden plants.
