Veg man is right , and it is good for a foliar feed. diluted and applied fortnightly.

It will last a while but I had a dustbin full a few years ago that was left half full at the end of the season and rediscovered in spring....oh did it humm! I had to dig a hole under the compost heap and pour it in! I was gagging as an almost visible green cloud engulfed the neighbourhood Lord knows what my neighbours thought.
