[Kushad, Mosbah M]

I wish I could.. Redhaven peaches turned from hard to soft within 48 hours bringing an uninvited guest brown rot..

Send some of that weather our way! Southern New England increasingly feels and looks like Southern California or Eastern Washington this summer.

Both vary by specific weight, so the handy measuring device that comes with various granular materials is for the intended product  only.   There are relatively cheap, but accurate postage scales that you can purchase at an office supply store.   You can weigh the product once accurately and pour it into an appropriate volume measuring cup, and determine the volume that matches the weight that  is recommended per tank load. Put a mark with a permanent ink on your measuring device, measure up to that mark at each filling, and spray away.
