1/8 teaspoon per gallon. NO MORE! Any stronger it will burn St. Aug. VBW foliage will turn purple in 2-3 weeks. Be patient.


BUMP. Looking for some reassurance here. Anyone?

1/8 teaspoon = .02 oz - is that correct?

My go to has always been 1/8th teaspoon MSM, 2 teaspoon surfactant per gallon.

How do you measure it out? The clear tube they give you with it is only in ounces.

I don't use the plastic tube that comes with it. That tube is used to make larger batches. I just use a regular 1/8th teaspoon that you would use in your kitchen. I make it as close to a level scoop as I can. As you can see, those little pellets don't lay very flat, but get it as close as you can and you'll be good. It's not going to give an immediate effect like you would expect with round up. It takes a few weeks to work but you will see the leaves start to turn a purplish color.
