MiracleGro works just fine as a liquid fertilizer, the Peters would be fine as well. It doesn't have to be something ridiculously expensive. We have been using the water soluble all-purpose MG 24-8-16 as well as Jack's 25-5-15 (I think that's the ratio- may be 25-5-10) that came in a 25 lb bag. That's all I could get last year in the bigger bags when I needed it. It's a lot less expensive that way (about $25-30) and we just put it in the MG sprayer just like you would MG. When I start my spray schedule I will just add it to my 15 gallon sprayer with everything else.
Lyle, I can't wait to use it this season. I did try to last year, but since it was out in the full sun the pods kept aborting. This is one cross I will be doing with it which you suggested last year
