Wegner's Liquid

I want to use Wegener's Liquid for indoor gardening. How should I use it?
Wegener's is best used on soilless mix for indoor gardening. Prepare your soilless mix and fill your pots. Mix 5 ml (1 teaspoon) of Wegener's for each litre (US quart) of water in your watering can. Soak the soilless mix until you see some nutrient running from the bottom of the pot. Repeat the application every two weeks when plants are smaller and more often as they grow.

Why won't Wegener's Liquid damage my plants if I use too much?
Wegener's Liquid is made from natural organic elements and will not harm plants, even if you apply it many times the recommended strength. Remember Wegener's Liquid gets diluted 200 times before you apply it to your plants. Even if you were to use three times the recommended amount, your plants will not be harmed. If you apply the concentrate, undiluted, directly on your plants you may see to much organic activity which can have adverse effects.

I want to grow award winning organic flowers.
Wegener's Liquid grows amazing flowers. Apply initially to the root zone to get nutrition to the roots.

Consumable flowers and herbs should have Wegener's Liquid applied to only the foliage (not the flower) once they have started to develop.

Why does fruit and vegetables taste better when grown with Wegener's Liquid?

A higher Brix level means your product will taste better and last longer.

Can I use Wegener's Liquid with other fertilizers?
Wegener's Liquid is compatible with all other fertilizers and pesticides. Many growers and market gardeners use Wegener's Liquid in conjunction with their pest prevention as Wegener's Liquid acts as an excellent "sticker" enabling growers to actually apply lower amounts of pesticide.

Why does Wegener's Liquid get absorbed so quickly into soilless mix, hard garden dirt and lawns?
Wegener's Liquid has similar properties to the best wetting agents. A Wegener's Liquid mixture will easily penetrate hard soil and lawns. Regular applications will actually improve the soil drainage making Wegener's ideal for golf courses, lawns, orchards and gardens. The increased microbial activity further improves the soil conditions increasing oxygen and promoting better, deeper root growth giving increased drought resistance.

What is the best way to apply Wegener's to my lawn?
Wegener's can be applied using a dial sprayer on the end of your garden hose, or applied using a backpack sprayer. You want to apply Wegener's Liquid at a rate of one litre (US quart) per 3000 sq. ft. You can apply it diluted or in a slightly more concentrated level. The best response will come from regularly applying a light spray over the lawn after each cutting. Wegener's Liquid will add the necessary organic elements to enable your lawn thatch to compost right on your lawn. This results in very nice lawns.

I have been using chemical fertilizer on my lawn for years, how will it respond to Wegener's Liquid?
Rescuing a chemically fertilized lawn requires several growing seasons. Chemical fertilizer initially boosts the nutrient resulting in fast quick greening and growing, but resulting in poor soil structure in the root zone. As soon as the chemical supply is diminished your lawn will slow down in growth and start to yellow out. Chemical fertilizer leaches away from the root zone faster than Wegener's. Wegener's Liquid provides a more even plant nutrition resulting in uniform growth and a healthy natural green color. Because Wegener's improves the soil, the lawn will have better drought resistance, better resistance to people traffic and will stay green late into the season. Each application of Wegener's Liquid to a previously chemical fertilized lawn will bring the lawn closer to having a natural balance.

Wegener's Liquid is safe for the birds, bees and kids, why?
Wegener's Liquid is nontoxic containing natural organic components. You will find that some insects will be attracted to the concentrated Wegener's Liquid because of its nutritional elements. Worms will seek it out, as will birds who like the worms.

How do I use Wegener's on my house plants?
Wegener's Liquid is the best choice for house plants. We all have spent time changing the dirt in our house plants because it has a build up of harmful levels of chemical fertilizer and salts. Using diluted Wegener's Liquid will maintain healthy soil, even in small plant pots. This makes Wegener's Liquid ideal for both home use and commercial plant maintenance. Healthy roots make healthy plants.

How long can I store Wegener's Liquid?
Wegener's Liquid will last a long time in its original bottle. It is sterile but organic in nature so it is important not to get any water into the concentrate. DO NOT store diluted Wegener's Liquid for this reason. Always mix up only what you need. DO NOT FREEZE. If some of the components of Wegener's Liquid settle out of solution because the storage time is long, you simply give the bottle a good shake to re-mix things.

Can I use Wegener's Liquid for growing certified Organic product?
Wegener's Liquid has gotten approval from local chapters of the OCIA for the growing of organic product where soil or tissue analysis indicates a deficiency of minerals. Each organic certification organization seems to have their own set of criteria for what constitutes organic gardening, both in terms of cultural practice and nutrient composition, so check your local rules. Wegener's Liquid is a convenient way to get the best of both worlds, controlled plant nutrition and clean healthy produce.
