I was a little turned off by the prices of fertilisers sold for
gardens (at home depot), but I have a bag of 10-10-10 fertilizer for
lawns, the sort that does not have any herbicides (ie, not a weed and
feed type, just feed).
Would you say that this is approproate for garden with tomatoes and
peppers and so on.
You should be able to find some cheap fertilizer that dissolves in water
at Home Depot or Walmart. I got a big box of 15-30-15 at Walmart for less
than $10.
I like to fix the fertilizer with equal parts pulverized lime to take care
of ph issues and prevent blossom end rot.
Get some fish emulsion and use it at full strength and throw your
10-10-10 away. If you can't do that, then use it with your fish emulsion
at a quarter strength. Chemical fertilizers kill soil organisms that
will feed your plants. If you grow soil, the soil will grow your plants.
