Hi LariAnn,
I know the first fert 18-6-8 is time released, would the other two be granular (dry) or could they be liquid? Do you use your ¼ strength solution of Miracle Grow reg & acid all through the growing season?
I have MG pelletized slow release that is 10-16-10 would that be really good for the last third or should I look for something with higher phosphorus? Something like super bloom which go’s to 55 on the phosphorus would that probably be too high? And finally, what are your thoughts on adding beneficial soil microbes & Mycorrhizae to the potting mix? Is that something you do?
I am glad Eclayne made reference to your article "Soil Fertility by the Seasons". I read it and liked your observations and follow through. Great article! I have spent almost all of my life with animals and like plants, they can’t tell you what they might need at the moment. So it’s important to become a good student of observation (the easy part) then taking what you observed and figuring out what to do with that information (which is the hard part). Keep up the good work!
