I strongly agree with what Arlyn just said. Adding supplements to your soil without knowing what you need is irresponsible. If your pH is off the plants cannot take up the nutrients you are buying and applying anyway. The fertilizer is just polluting the ground water. Most plants, if planted in a balanced pH, or in the pH they require to thrive, do not need much fertilizer to do what nature intended them to do. Become familiar with what your type of plant needs, and when it needs it, and feed accordingly. Too much is as bad as too little...... stepping down off the soap box now.
Thro' all the tumult and the strife I hear the music ringing; It finds an echo in my soul— How can I keep from singing?
