I planned to dissolve SEA-90 and apply foliarly, but when I tried to dissolve 50 pounds in a 50 gallon drum, it did not dissolve. Can you help?
A.This is a common problem with a simple answer, “add more water”. Remember SEA-90 is dehydrated sea water as sea solids in nature’s perfect balance. Five ounces SEA-90 dissolved in one gallon water recreates pure seawater. That is essentially the same as one pound SEA-90 in three gallons of water. If the ratio of salt to water is greater, then a super saline solution is created and the solids stop going into solution or dissolving. The sea maintains perfect mineral balance due to the fact that whenever any element is present in excess it precipitates out of solution or falls to the bottom of the sea. Another factor to consider is the hardness and salinity of your water source. Hard water contains more minerals and therefore accepts less SEA-90 in solution. The harder your water, the more minerals present. Therefore, you might find that you can only dissolve one pound in four or five gallons of water. We suggest conducting a test in a white five gallon bucket of your water. Add one pou
