If that is accurate (and they don't seem certain as to what the

varying the dose with a few identical seedlings to see if there really
is any difference after a couple of months.

Well, you do want to help the plant get established, sometimes the first
couple of months can be critical. I do underdose, but not as much as AT
did. That was a large tree, probably 70l pot, he tossed a little
handful the hole.

I think you'd need more than a few seedlings to really do a proper test,
seedlings vary so much anyway in terms of health and vigour.

Have you tried the stuff, Jeff?
