The Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder dispenses a gallon every 15 seconds. The water gets fed into the feeder and then cycled back out through an internal syphon on the inside of the cap which allows for proper feeding.
According to the product label for the Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder, 1/2 lb. of product will cover 200 sq. ft., therefore, 0.125 lbs. of product would cover 50 sq. ft. of area, which would translate to 2 oz. of product. We would recommend applying in the morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler.
As long as food from the Miracle-Gro Garden Feeder is stored in a cool, dry environment, the shelf-life is about 3 years.
