HELP!!! Is MSU fert 3/4 tsp/gal or Tbsp/gal??
I asked you all how much MSU fertilizer I should be using a while ago and most said 3/4 tsp per gallon (to get ~125ppm N), which is consistent with what the MSU fertilizer recc. Could someone please confirm that by tsp, you all actually mean teaspoon and not tablespoon?
The reason I ask is that I want to make sure I didn't just over fertilize.
Here's my problem: The spoon Ray gave with the MSU fertilizer says 1/2 TSP. Since I'm used to seeing Tbsp as tablespoon, and not TSP, I saw the TSP on the spoon and thought teaspoon. Since my MSU fertilizer (and all of you) have said 1/2 tsp (with the tsp in lowercase, tsp = teaspoon), I've been fertilizing with 1.5 scoops with ray's spoon thinking that was 3/4 teaspoon.
Today I was thinking about it, and it's obvious that Ray's spoon is more than 1/2 teaspoon, it's obviously 1/2 Tablespoon. Then I remembered that TBS = tablespoon, and lower case tsp = teaspoon.
So, could someone please verify that the amount I'm supposed to be using is 3/4 teaspoon/gallon and that I have been over fertilizing ?? I just want to make sure that the MSU fert "tsp" and the "tsp" that you all have been talking about is really a teaspoon and that I'm really supposed to be using 1/2 scoop from Ray's scoop (since 1/2 ray's scoop = 1/4 Tablespoon = 3/4 teaspoon) before I switch?
Thank you!
