The pack comes in 3 parts – the microbes, the ‘activator’ liquid and a litre bottle of biostimulant.The instructions can be found on the rear of the G-UPP box.

After making sure your tank is clean, prepareyour tank by filling it with 16 litresof water – ideally from a rain water butt or other natural source. If a rain butt is not available then tap water will be fine.

Remove the sachet containing the microbes and fill with water to the 100ml marker.

Add the microbes to the 100ml of water and stand for 5 minutes, giving the pack a ‘squidge’ to distribute the microbial powder well. Then, using the syringe draw up 1/3rd or approximately 30ml of microbes for each 16 L tank full of water.

Here you see the rehydrated microbes and the activator together with the syringe ready to be put in the tank.

Using a knapsack apply at a rate of approximately 16L of water per ¾ of an acre. Here you see a 16L tank being filled with some of the rehydrated microbes – using the syringe use approximately 1/3rd of the solution (30ml) in each tank full. You will need 3 tank fulls to cover 2.5 acres. Don’t worry – you don’t have to be exact and you can’t do any harm by accidentally over applying.

Add approximately 100ml of theG-UPP bio-stimulant to the 16 L tank.

Finally, using the syringe, draw up approximately 15ml of the G-UPP activator and add that to the tank mixture.

You are now ready to spray. Repeat 3 times to cover 2.5 acres.

After 1 month, refill your tank with water and apply another 100ml per 16L tank (300ml in total for 2.5 acres) of the remaining bio-stimulant.
