Hi, do you measure up your ammendments using a 240ml cup? or do you weigh it up at 2 cups to the pound or 4 to the kg, we don't use cups here in the UK so not sure, thanks

You could just use a liter as 4 cups it will be slightly more then 4 cups by 40ml but it is pretty close.

Cups are still used in the UK for baking and measuring cups are available at wilko's or other places that have a good range of catering equipment.........................a 240ml cup would work just as good though, LOL

Done with volume, not weight. A cup of neem cake and a cup of rock dust are vastly different in weight.

DB is spot on, a 240ml will work just fine. We aren't baking, just using consistant amounts for measurements. Plus, you may find that slightly more or slightly less of whatever works best for you.
