Last season I used chicken pellets to fed my cucumbers. I had a 3" pot sunk into the ground beside each plant to ensure water went straight to where it was required and I just put a half handful in the pots each week and continued watering - the pellets dissolved over the space of the week. I didn't bother diluting the brew at all and had no problems.
