What are you mixing it with? You should use a 3-1-6 ratio (NPK) including magnesium, iron, calcium.... Basically, you should use half the amount of nitrogen and 1/6 the amount of phosphorus as potassium.

The amount used depends on the size of the plants and current growth rate due to the climate. Its always best to use small amounts frequently.
