What brand of plant food/fertilizer is best for veggies?
Answers:
I have always used Milorganite on everything from my grass to trees to flowers and vegetables. I am more of an organic gardener and this product is reprocessed sewer sludge that gives instant nutrient and breaks down fast. It also will never burn or kill anything if you spill a glop of it anywhere... But get sure you use it all or seal up the pod very well. It breaks down against the clock when moisture gets into the bag and the result is stinky and bizarre........ Source(s): Certified Advanced Master Gardener
The best kind of fertilizer for any plants is compost. You can take home it for free from anything that will biodegrade - newspaper, grass clippings, weeds, vegetable peelings, etc. It does far more angelic for the soil and the plants than any chemical fertilizer that you can buy and it is positively free. It takes about 6 mos to biodegrade into the richest looking soil you hold ever seen. While you are waiting, you can buy a mixture of compost and peat moss, already bagged, at garden centers and nurture stores. Place it on top of the soil or work it into the soil before you plant. Greatest stuff within the world.
The brand doesn't situation. Use vegetable fertilizer, look at the ingredients on the box and buy the best deal. Vegetables need potash, phosphorous and nitrogen + trace elements iron and sulphur and lime, calcium.
i use peters water soluble but i just hold a small square foot garden but to answer your question do you know any one who has horses if so that is to say the best thing in the world if you notify you want some that has out for a little while fresh will budge thru what is called a heat once it have done that it is great for the garden the best thing to do is out on the garden while it is dormant in the winter and til it into the ground that will start he process and the plants will be cheerful happy oh by the way this is a green fertilizer too ask your county agent he will be glad to hear that you want to use this instead of chemicals
Good Evening Ohsnap,
Sometimes people make things closely harder than they have to be. I have be a gardener for 60 years. My uncle started teaching me at the age of 3 on a farm surrounded by Ky. I use no pesticides and no chemicals. Today, I have nine (9) rare fruit trees and a 20x20 foot garden.
First thing to remember is to keep your vegetables nourishing. Buy yourself a $4 ph test kit. If you find your soil is to sharp, add lime. If you find your soil is to alkaline, add pine needles. It may clutch another year to get the soil perfect. Your soil is in a minute ready. First part is over.
Second, Make yourself a well-mannered mulch or compost container. You can just pile up materials right on the ground. I like a home made container.
Your mulch pile should enjoy grass cuttings, dead vegetable plants, egg shells, and leafs. After each two inch branch add about two or three cups of chicken fertilizer. Keep the pile raining.
Mix your mulch into your soil. You can now start planting. Sometimes it takes a year to arrive at the best, but I guarantee you will have one of the best gardens around. Do not worry something like the brand of chicken manure. Chicken manure is the best life fertilizer you can use. You only have to assessment (ph level) the soil about every two or three years. Start everything today. You will be ready to plant surrounded by the spring.
Be a great gardener. I hope this cleared up a few things. Good luck to you and your family, from Los Angeles.
Finished compost is best. Osmocote or time release fertilizer is subsequent best.
