Just for some rough estimates of quantity needed. When mixing Magic and/or Caliber plan on using approximately 8 gallons per ton. Works out to that almost every time we treat a pile. The salt should be well saturated not just colored. Should look like dark brown sugar throughout. Almost wet, but not quite. You will see it and know what I mean. We have seen people "test" Magic and mix 5 gallons on 10 tons and then complain that it doesn't work. They see brown and figure its ok but its not. You have to treat the salt thoroughly.
I'll see if I can help find up a supplier in your area.
