You can find Surround WP from Peaceful Valley for $29.99/25 lb bag at http://www.groworganic.com/item_PMB380_Surround_25_Lb.html#.  The label is available in pdf format at  http://www.groworganic.com/pdf/label/pmb380-b.pdf.  The application rate is typically 25-50 lbs/ 100 gallons water/acre. It may be up to 100 lbs/100 gallons/acre, depending on crop and problem.  It must be agitated as it is applied.  See product label for specific information.  Read the label carefully and you will find all of the instructions and rates you could possibly need right there on the label.

FEDCO has it in their current Organic Growers Supply catalog for $40 for a 25# bag.  Don’t know what shipping would be for you, it would cost about $20 to ship a bag to me in Wisconsin from FEDCO in Maine.  Are you sure that the price you had gotten wasn’t for a full bag?

Well, it's been about 3 years since I priced it (surround), but the price I saw at the time was $50 per pound, not including delivery, which I thought was ridiculous....and I doubt a pound would be adequate for an acre. 

We average about 4 inches of rain per month during the growing season here.  I don't know how many applications of surround would be required to make it through a season.  The folks who make it claim that a single application is good for a season, but I'm skeptical.
