Mixing Tips for Soil Works Products 1. Always use clean mixing equipment. Salt based products should be avoided. If product compatibility is in question, jar test them before mixing into your tank or check with your representative. 2. Adjust water pH to near 7. Water quality can cause mixing issues. Ensure your water has a pH of less than 7.5. If the pH of your water is high, try using vinegar to lower it. Avoid water sources with excess minerals as this can also cause complications with mixing. Jar testing can also be helpful in testing water compatibility. 3. Use an injection cone or mix dry products into a slurry. While filling sprayer tank with water turn on agitation. Then make a slurry with each dry product in a smaller container. Ensure the product is dissolved completely before adding to the sprayer tank. Warm water does make mixing easier, but is not necessary. 4. MIX IN THE CORRECT ORDER. 1. Calcium should always be first 2. Carbonplexx, sugar, or molasses 3. Phosphorus 4. Biological Products 5. Fish Fertilizers or Nitrogens 5. Once the product is mixed, continually agitate and apply promptly. If mixing a biological product such as Bio-5, once the products are mixed they must remain out of direct sunlight, continually agitated, and be applied immediately. If there is any concern check the Dissolved Oxygen of the mix and it should be above 6 mg/l. 6. We recommend a Tee-Jet Extend Range Nozzle. The XR Teejet SS8010 and 80 degree extended range nozzle works well for application of the products. Our applicators use this nozzle, remove all the individual filters and run only one 16 mesh main filter. Additional Information GSR Calcium is not recommended as a foliar spray. Direct soil contact is a must. Products should be mixed into at least 10-20 gallons of water per acre, more is better. Do not hesitate to call with any questions.
