Bumping if someone can assist me with the math on this.

I'm not sure how to use this in a sprayer but the math works like this...
It's 62% potash so 0.62x = 2.94
X=4.7 pounds per 1000ft.
How you dilute that and apply it is up to you.

Okay so with that being said, I just need to find some way to apply 4.7 lbs of potash into every 1,000 sq feet, correct. The product I have is water soluble. 2 gallon sprayer that can spray 2,000 sq feet with a total of 9.4 lbs of the product to cover my front yard. Just weigh and mix?
I'm just trying not to confuse myself because again, on the label it's telling me that the application rates are 2-3 Tbsp / gallon, 2 lbs for every 100 sq feet. I'm guessing this is for a standard application and not to boost up the low levels of potassium in my yard currently.

I would wait for ronk or Crawdude to chime in. That's how the math works but the 2-3 TBSP/gallon is confusing to me too.

Same, not to mention that the 2-3 Tbsp is for a 2 lb application for only 100 sq feet.

I just sent an email to the company because their direct phone line does not work. This really isn't making a whole lot of sense unless there's something I am missing. If I don't get a response, I'm just going to weigh it out and pour into my sprayer (while not trying to destroy my back) and hope for the best.

Went ahead and put the potash down today.
There should be some rain coming in Monday or Wednesday next week. If I'm looking to cover my nitrogen source for both yards, what would be some good options to go with?
Referring back to my original test results:
If my math is correct, I should be able to cover both yards with two bags of this product:
Sta-Green All Season 40-lb 10500-sq ft 20.5-0-0 All-purpose Lawn Starter Fertilizer
>
Also wouldn't mind suggestions on covering the phosphate for the front yard. It's no more than 1200 sq feet.
