Organic REV is a powerful liquid concentrated growth stimulant designed to enhance the health and vitality of your lawn. This guide will help you understand the best practices for applying Organic REV to achieve optimal results.
Application Rates and Dilution
- Recommended Application Rate: 4 ounces of REV (concentrated) per 1,000 square feet of lawn.
- Dilution Rate: 1 ounce of REV per gallon of water.
Organic REV contains no NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium), so precision is not crucial. Using more than the recommended amount will not harm your lawn but may lead to unnecessary expenses.
Goals of Application
- Foliar Absorption: Our organic matter, reduced to 4 microns, can be absorbed directly into the leaf.
- Root Zone Penetration: Ensuring REV reaches the root zone for deeper absorption.
