    Q
    Can you use Ferti-Lome Yield Booster mixed in fertilizer as an amendment for growing in coco coir, which is known to lockup calcium?
    don't want to use it as a foliar spray, want to add it to my weekly fertilizer to offset the coco absorbing calcium.
    A

    The Ferti-Lome Yield Booster is designed to be used as a foliar spray only; it will not uptake into the plants if only applied to the soil. We do sell other tomato fertilizers that are designed to be applied to the soil such as FoxFarm Happy Frog Tomato and Vegetable Organic Fertilizer 7-4-5.

    Mix 2 tablespoons (1 fluid ounce) with 1 gallon of water to stop blossom-end rot. Apply as a uniform spray to foliage and developing fruit. Make a spray application once every 7 days until 3 or 4 applications have been made. Apply in early morning when temperatures are cool to avoid burning foliage.
