I grow everything in containers, and use Pro-Mix BX as the soil medium.
Very happy with it. It drains so well, I worry that the water soluble
fertilizer leeches out too quick. A garden expert whose podcast I listen

to Ron Wilson is an avid proponent of Osmakote, a time release
fertilizer.
Does anyone use a time release, and how do you think it works for you?
Do you still give your plants extra feedings?

I use Osmacote for indoor plants and pot plants. I'd never consider using
it for something I planned to eat.


Ok, round two....8-)
Please explain.
And btw, thanks for your input


It works great for heavy feeders like the strawberries I grow in
containers on the deck. It is not "organic" but actually it is made
from organic materials. I do, however, supplement on occasion, but
only with an occasional feeding when growth is rapid or a lot of
berries are forming.

concentrations far below the recommended agricultural use levels.

Monsanto's Harvest of Fear

Know your enemy.
Archer Daniels Midland, ConAgra, Cargill, American Cyanamid, Ciba-Geigy,
Monsanto, Dow, and Syngenta are the most obvious.

They want to be paid, every time you eat.
