The general protocol calls for granular time release but if you do regular liquid ferts you can use a similar protocol using the liquid solutions. I use my 1/4 strength Miracle Gro all season long.
If you are using liquid fert, the bloom booster would be the one you use nearing the end of season. You could use the 10-16-10 but I haven't tried that analysis in my work.
I have used beneficial soil microbes and mycorrhizae, but if you are doing the fert protocol I suggest, the mycorrhizae are not a good idea because the higher phosphorus will shut them down. My potting mix has mycorrhizae in it (endomicorrhizae) and I apply ectomycorrhizae to my Rainbow Eucalyptus seedlings to get them inoculated for the long term. But then I don't do the high-phosphorus protocol on them!
Thanks for the compliments on my article - you might be interested in some of the other articles I've written on DG. When you have my soil fertility article onscreen, scroll down to the bottom of the page for a link to other articles I have written.
Hope this helps,
