I have bought a pack of Chempak Formula 2 high nitrogen feed. There is
no measure in the box and the instructions simply say to use two
measures per 5l. Does anyone know the weight and/or volume of the
measure?

TIA

A friend of mine who is a keen gardener, told me the other day that
her tomato plants were getting tall and leggy in her greenhouse. "I'm
not feeding them much" she said, "only nitrogen"!!
She uses Chempak 2.

I use mine on the rhubarb, the herb plot and the spring onions. The
rhubarb will insist on flowering despite it as of course will the herbs,
but they do produce well on high nitrogen feeding. I don't have a
greenhouse and up here in Dundee it's a mite cold for tomatoes outside,
but I have grown them in the past and wouldn't dream of just high N2 on
them.
