How do I apply it? Dissolve it in water, or sprinkle it on top of the soil near the perimeter of the pots?

Sprinkle on the soil above the roots; i.e., in the midway between the stem and the perimeter. If you have mulch mix it in the top inch, otherwise top with a few inches of 1-inch diameter bark.
Here's something to help with volume estimates. Your pot has an average diameter (width) of 22 inches so the average radius (1/2 width) is 11 inches. The volume of a cylinder pi*r*r*h = pi*11*11*18 ~= 6842 cubic inches. Now type into the Google search bar (or Chrome omni bar):
convert 6842 cubic inches to gallons
It returns
6842 (cubic inches) = 29.6190476 US gallons
