To determine what storage capacity is most efficient you could use your annual consumption use fertilizer schedule. The ideal situation is that you don't need more than 13 fertilizer delivery moments in a calendar year. Based on this calculation, you can determine the necessary capacity for your fertilizer storage via the following calculation:

Number of liters of nutritional water per hectare × Total hectare / Number of desired delivery days per week = Capacity of fertilizer unit in liters

In addition to the storage capacity of fertilizers, a safe way of storing fertilizers is also an important point. The wrong storage of fertilizers can have catastrophic consequences!

Liquid fertilizers contain certain acids. These are materials with very pH levels. The materials opposite to acids are bases which have higher pH values. When an acid and a base mix in a fertilizer container it will cause a reaction. This reaction results in water and heat.  A surplus of acid will cause a pH which is too low. Therefore pH control is of great importance.
