It is normally recommended you use it as a foliar spray at a dilution of 10 times.   I would think it best used when plants are growing vigorously and need more nutrients than they can get from the soil normally.   As in times of stress, for example, drought.

Probably applied directly to soil where no crops are currently growing, it may be OK neat, but I have no personal experience of such use.

I thought it was 1:20 dilution. The colour of weak tea should be about right

I wouldn't tip it neat.  I'd keep hold of it rather than just waste it cos it's liquid gold and you need it to feed your plants
