Sea Salt on Small Gardens/Farms

Hello and thank you for the awesome books.

In the book it says don’t use sea salt on small gardens/farms because there is enough sea salt in the JMS. However, shouldn’t this also be based on dilution rate of the JMS and not just farm size? I realize that smaller farms will usually dilute JMS less and larger farms will usually dilute more, but there are exceptions, right?

For example, I have a garden (1000 sq ft), but I use a drip irrigation injector that automatically dilutes around 1:100. (In the book it says 1:10-1:1000 is suitable for JMS) Since the sea salt in the JMS is already diluted 1:1000 (1g/1L), then the sea salt becomes 1:100,000 (.01g/1L) when irrigating JMS with my injector’s dilution.

Am I correct in thinking this is not enough sea salt? I usually add some sea salt to the injector (once or twice per month) to make it closer to 1:1000 (1g/1L) in the end. Is this correct?

I can use 1% of the harvest to calculate the salt for very productive fruiting crops like melons and tomatoes? This will end up being much more sea salt, can I do this without causing problems?

Okay so I will scatter the remaining salt directly on the soil since I can only irrigate JMS at 1:100

I apologize for all the extra questions

50g is not even close to 1% of my harvest

When do you use the 1% rule for sea salt?

If I had a 1:10 injector that is exactly what I would do.

I cannot find an injector that will work that way.

Does this mean I should add more sea salt even though I have a small garden?
