Tomorite?
Found an old bottle of Tomorite which had been hidden away, where it could not be found, but I foiled it's attempt to remain hidden and recovered it, but:- The label has disappeared from the bottle, so I have no idea how to use it, does anyone know? I'm planning to use it on the tomatoes in the greenhouse. Alan |

... The stuff I've got has a measuring cap and it says 20ml to a gallon of water 20ml per gallon? That's a rather strange mix of units. |

In general, imperial measures, gallons, pints feet yards seem better suited to measuring out and conceptualising larger quantities, yards feet, gallons, pints etc, whereas metric is more useful when it comes to precision measurements. When making a bookshelves for instance its much easier* to plan it in feet when buying the wood, but much easier to do the fine measurements prior to cutting in mm. Which are far easier to work with - add, subtract, etc than are 16ths of an inch. In gardening, in many places gallon measures are still far more common than litres, whereas most dispenser caps are marked off in mm. Maybe for that very reason. michael adams *At least for people who have been doing so successfuly for years and have the well worn neural pathways in the brain, to convince themselves of the fact. And then, when feet and yards no longer suffice, it's onto double decker buses and football pitches. .. |

And what about a Tad --no such thing in the metric thingy. |
