Using nutrients for foliar and soil feeding

According to General Hydroponics, their nutrients can be used for foliar and soil supplementation. Has anyone experimented with this?
CAN I FOLIAR FEED WITH GH NUTRIENTS?
Answer: Of course. Make sure you use a weaker nutrient solution than you would for root feeding. Avoid foliar feeding in the heat of the day and under excessive sunlight. Generally, the best times to foliar feed are in the early morning and late afternoon. Make sure you spray the undersides of the leaves. This is where the stomata or "lungs of the plant" are located, and where maximum absorption occurs.
CAN GH NUTRIENTS BE USED IN SOIL?
Answer: Absolutely! All of our nutrient blends contain the necessary elements for plant growth. Start with the formula ratios identified on the label for the specific plant or crop you are growing, and then adjust and experiment until you find the right formula for your specific need.

Great idea! I got the idea from this group to make use of the overflow of light to plant a tomato and cucumber in dirt. I was wondering how to feed it.
