| Hello, I have a question about fertilizer blending. These are hypothetical numbers to confirm my thoughts about blending.
Pretending I have three 50 pound bags of granular fertilizer that are �
Each has an application rate of one pound per 1000SQF. If I were to blend these three together I would end up with a 2-2-2?
Feedback is appreciated |

| Sorry, the second question should say If I were to increase the dosage to 3 pounds per 1000SQF I would have a 6-6-6? |
|
| The amount of the product nothing to do with the analysis. If you mix 2 OUNCES (each) of those three imaginary fertilizers together, you will have 6 ounces of 6-6-6. If you were to mix a TON of each, you'll have three tons of 6-6-6. Take your imaginary 6-0-0, for example. Whether you are adding one pound or 50 pounds per 1000...it's still 6 pounds of actual Nitrogen per 1000. |

| ...Make that 6 pounds of actual N per unit (pound, ounce, ton)....not per 1000 sq.ft. Sorry! |
