How much do I use?
Every product below lists its mix ratio and rate. For an exact number based on your square footage or flock size, use the rate calculator.
When will I see something?
Depends on the product. Sanitizers work on contact. The biological products — soil conditioners, flock supplements, litter treatment — work with the soil or the bird rather than on it, so most of their results show up over weeks, not overnight. Each product page says what to watch for.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Chickens
Water line
Water delivery — how much apple cider vinegar for chickens: • General use: 1 oz per gallon of drinking water • Stress events (molt, heat, transport): 2 oz per gallon for 3-5 days • Maintenance: 1 oz per gallon, 3-4 days per week Tips: • Use a plastic waterer — ACV corrodes galvanized metal • Best results when introduced before stress events • Shake well before use — settling is normal for raw ACV
Backyard Poultry Bundle
Water — keep Mother Load ACV 3 days apart from Hen Helper
Hen Helper: • 1 tablespoon per gallon of drinking water • Use daily for the first 2 weeks, then 3-4 times per week Mother Load ACV: • 1 tablespoon per gallon of drinking water • Use 3-4 times per week as ongoing maintenance • Increase to daily during stress (molting, extreme weather) • Space it at least 3 days apart from Hen Helper (see tip below) Catalyst Vitamins: • Follow label directions for flock size • Use 2-3 times per week for maintenance • Use daily during molting, illness recovery, or extreme weather Tip: Hen Helper and Catalyst can go in the same waterer together. Mother Load ACV is a different type of probiotic than Hen Helper, so keep those two at least 3 days apart — running them together cancels out the beneficial microbes. Catalyst is a vitamin and mixes with anything, anytime.
Big Ole Bird
Water line (medicator or proportioner)
Standard protocol (broilers): • Days 1-3: 1 oz per 100 gallons (heavy dose for gut colonization) • Days 4-14: 0.5 oz per 100 gallons (maintenance) • Day 15+: 0.5 oz per 100 gallons every 3rd day Layers / Turkeys: • First 14 days: 1 oz per 100 gallons daily • Maintenance: 0.5 oz per 100 gallons 2x/week Stress events (heat, transport, vaccination): • Return to heavy dose for 3 days
Catalyst
VideoWater line (medicator or proportioner), or mixed directly into drinking water

Catalyst Liquid
Drinking water (waterer or nipple system)
Standard dosing: • Add 1 tablespoon per gallon of drinking water • Replace treated water every 2-3 days Stress events (heat, cold, molting, new birds): • Double dose for 5-7 days, then return to standard Chicks: • Start from day one at standard dose • Supports strong early development
Desecticide
Pump sprayer or boom sprayer
Commercial broiler house — cleanout (between flocks): • Mix 1 gallon concentrate per 20 gallons of water • Spray litter, walls, posts, and under equipment • A standard 40×500 house requires 2-3 gallons concentrate per cleanout • Allow to dry before placing new bedding Commercial house — during production: • Mix 1 gallon concentrate per 30 gallons of water • Spray perimeter walls, posts, and beetle congregation areas • A standard 40×500 house requires 1-2 gallons concentrate for perimeter treatment • Avoid direct contact with feed and water lines Layer and breeder houses: • Same dilution rates as broiler houses • Focus on pit areas, under slats, and manure belt areas • Treat monthly during peak beetle season Maintenance: • Reapply every 2-3 weeks during heavy infestations • Monthly maintenance spray during lower pressure periods
Hen Helper
Drinking water (waterer or nipple system)
Standard dosing: • Add 1 tablespoon per gallon of drinking water • Replace treated water every 2-3 days (or as waterer is refilled) New chicks: • Start on day one for best results • Same dose — 1 tablespoon per gallon Stress events (extreme heat, new birds, predator scares): • Double dose for 3-5 days, then return to standard
Litter Life
VideoPump sprayer, boom sprayer, house washer, or ATV tank — any standard farm sprayer
Mix ratio: • 1 gallon Litter Life + 9 gallons water per 2,000 sq ft • 20,000 sq ft house = 10 gallons concentrate (mixed with 90 gallons water) • Optional: let the mix sit 1–24 hours before spraying Timing (before placement): • Apply 7–10 days before placement (best: 12–14 days) • Best on a bare pad; if not possible, apply on built-up litter before new bedding goes down • Close the house for 1–2 days after spraying to hold warmth, then ventilate Heavy ammonia: double the application rate.
Lawn & Garden
Soil conditioners, fertilizers, and turf care.
Bloom
Mix with water, apply when watering
Standard feeding: • Mix 2 oz (4 tablespoons) per gallon of water • Water plants as you normally would with the mixed solution • Feed every 1-2 weeks during active growing season (spring through fall) Winter / dormant season: • Reduce to once monthly or pause feeding entirely • Most houseplants slow growth in winter and need less nutrition Herbs and edibles: • Same dose — 2 oz per gallon • Safe for all edible plants
C-Fix: Biochar Soil Amendment
Soil incorporation or top-dressing
Gardens and raised beds: • Mix 5-10 lbs per 100 sq ft into the top 4-6 inches of soil • Best applied before planting or during bed preparation • Can be mixed with compost for added benefit Lawns: • Apply 3-5 lbs per 100 sq ft as a top-dressing • Rake or water in after application • Pair with overseeding for best results Container plants: • Mix at 10-15% of total potting soil volume • Combine with quality potting mix Note: Biochar works best when "charged" — pre-mixed with compost, humic acid (already included in C-Fix), or liquid fertilizer before application.
Chicken Manure Fertilizer
VideoBroadcast spreader, hand application, or soil incorporation
Lawns: • Apply 10-15 lbs per 1,000 sq ft • Apply in spring and fall for warm-season grasses • Water in lightly after application Gardens and landscape beds: • Work 5-10 lbs per 100 sq ft into soil before planting • Side-dress established plants at 2-3 lbs per 100 sq ft mid-season • Mix into compost for enhanced bed preparation New sod or seed: • Apply 10 lbs per 1,000 sq ft and incorporate into top 2-3 inches before laying sod or seeding • Follow up with a second application 6-8 weeks later Tips: • Water in after application for best results • Can be applied with a broadcast spreader for large areas

Perfect Pot
Hand potting — fill containers and plant
Repotting: • Fill new pot 1/3 full with Perfect Pot • Place plant and fill around root ball • Leave 1/2 inch below rim for watering • Water thoroughly after repotting Topping off existing pots: • Remove top 1-2 inches of depleted soil • Replace with fresh Perfect Pot • Do this annually for long-term plants Pairing with Bloom: • Perfect Pot provides initial nutrients for 2-3 months • Begin feeding with Bloom plant food after that period
Soil Sulfur
Hand broadcast or rotary spreader
General pH reduction: • Apply 5-10 lbs per 1,000 sq ft depending on current pH and target • Work into top 2-4 inches of soil when possible • Always test soil pH before and after application Blueberries and acid-loving shrubs: • Target pH: 4.5-5.5 • Apply around drip line and work into mulch/soil • Retest in 8-12 weeks and reapply if needed Hydrangeas (for blue blooms): • Lower pH below 6.0 for blue flower color • Apply in early spring before bud set Important: • Do not exceed 10 lbs per 1,000 sq ft in a single application • Sandy soils require less sulfur than clay soils for the same pH change • Results are gradual — allow 6-12 weeks for full effect
Torched
Mix concentrate in a pump sprayer (8-10 oz per gallon)
Mixing (concentrate only — no dilution shortcuts): • Mix 8-10 oz of Torched per gallon of water (10-12 oz for hardy or mature weeds) • Shake well before AND during spraying — the oils separate from water • Spray foliage liberally from about 6 inches until thoroughly wet, avoiding run-off PLAN ON MORE THAN ONE PASS — this is the step people skip: • Torched is a contact killer. It burns down every leaf it touches, but it does not travel to the root the way a systemic chemical does. • Young annual weeds usually die in one pass. • Deep-rooted perennials (dandelion, thistle, puncturevine, established gravel-driveway weeds) need 2-3 passes, 5-7 days apart, to exhaust the root. • Expect the first pass to brown the top and the plant to push back green. That is the root spending its reserves — hit it again while it is weak. Stopping after one pass is the #1 reason people see regrowth on tough weeds. Conditions that make it work: • Apply on a warm (above 60°F), sunny, calm day — heat and sunlight speed the burn-down • Hit weeds while they're young and actively growing • Re-treat if it rains within 24 hours

PORT
Pour into the vault after pumping
Standard maintenance (per 1,000-gallon vault): • Add 2.5 gallons of PORT with 15 gallons of water • Apply when the vault has been freshly pumped • Let the vault fill to capacity — no additional product needed between pumps High-traffic periods: • Add 1 gallon of PORT between cleanouts, or as needed • Add extra water if solids begin to exceed the water line Tip: • Best results come from dosing a freshly pumped vault so the biology establishes before heavy use
Pour the PORT
Pour into toilet and flush
Monthly maintenance: • Pour one bottle into any toilet • Flush twice • Best applied before bed (gives bacteria 8+ hours of low-flow time to colonize) New system or heavy use: • Use 2 bottles the first month to establish bacterial population • Return to 1 bottle per month after Tips: • Avoid pouring bleach or antibacterial cleaners down drains for 24 hours after treatment • Consistent monthly use produces the best long-term results • Works in systems of all sizes — one bottle treats up to 1,500 gallons
