Default A good, "All Round" Veggie fertilizer (???)

10-10-10 will work for most veggies if you use it sparingly. Really
good for corn and leafy vegetables ( cabbage family) too much nitrogen
for beans, southern peas etc. 5-10-10 or 5 -10 15 is better because
there is less chance of overdosing your plants on nitrogen. The foliar
feeds like Miracle Gro are good for jump starting, not so good for
regular feeding. Manures, blood meal, alfalfa meal, fish products also
work, but are expensive.
