On a one gallon container of Garrett Juice Concentrate the label indicates to mix 2 oz. of concentrate to 1 gallon of water for foliar spray. For a soil drench, the mixture ratio increase to 4oz. of concentrate to 1 gallon of water.
So, once I have the proper dilution rate I want, what is the coverage area for the one gallon of spray mixture? I could spray the 1 gallon mixture over as large or as small an area as I please. All things being equal, would not a smaller application area receive a stonger application of the product, while a larger area would receive a more diluted application of the product?
There seems to be a factor that is omitted here. Once I mix up one gallon of spray to the strength I desire, what is the coverage rate for that one gallon of spray? Is it 25 sq-ft or 100 sq-ft, etc.?
It also appears that I can not use a hose end sprayer to apply the gallon of diluted Concentrate mixture. Is that right?

I use a backpack sprayer that i usually mix up 3 gallons of tea. That will easily cover my entire 7000 sq.ft. yard. Plants that need a little boost or have critter problems get a better soaking. We prefer using some type of pump sprayer or a trombone sprayer to ensure proper mixing ratios. The hose-ends tend to be inaccurate. If thats all you have then use it but high quality back packs can be purchased from independent equipment companies for $120 or so.
Remember that I suggest foliar feeding in the evening as the sun is going down for best results.
