If your soil is good enough, you don't need to add fertilizer, organic or chemical. Some teas are made from just compost. Other recipes add organic fertilizers to foliar feed at the same time.
I'm a big fan of humic acid. I use a product from kelp4less called Extreme Blend. It's kelp, humic, fulvic, and amino acids. I also use good old chem salt Miracle Grow, but the humic acid product makes the plant uptake nutrients much faster. I can get by with using a tiny amount of the Miracle Grow. I have 2,000+ plants, and I'm still on the first two little bags of it. |
