Default 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.

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.

Well 4.5 ltrs if you are going to be pedantic about it, it's still a gallon
in my book

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.

*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.

You are obviously too young to remember a slack sixteenth or a tight eighth.
And what about a Tad --no such thing in the metric thingy.

You've missed out the Isle of Wight.

50 Isle of Wights = 1 Wales

* Rather than Ilses of Wight, as there's only the one.
