Fertilizing and Rainy Days

Marymcp · December 17, 2011

Hello Folks, We've had lots of drizzily rain the past week so the beds are good and soaked, more rain coming tomorrow. I want to spray on some fish emulsion but am wondering: Is it a good idea to add the fertilizer with more rain coming? I can't decide if it would be good for the rain to soak the fertilizer in or will the rain wash it out?

One bed will be 'resting', waiting for mid-Feb to put in tomatoes, a couple of beds have frost damaged tomato plants that I expect to come back in spring, beets, carrots, radishes and onions sprouting in some, broccoli growing, garlic growing.

Thanks for any help.
Mary
