The Ratio to apply:

40m2 Nemaslug - Watering Can:

Dissolve all of the contents of the pack in a 4 litres watering can of water to create a stock solution.

Stir and take 0.5 litre of the stock solution, add to an empty watering can fitted with a coarse rose (≥1.4mm diameter holes) and fill with 4.5 litres of water.

Apply the solution to an eighth of the soil area to be treated.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 until the whole area is treated.

Water the treated area after application.
This pack fills 8 watering cans of 5 litres and treats up to 40m2 (50sq yds). Also easily applied with a recommended garden hose end feeder.
