I grow tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers but I am at a loss as to the type
of fertilizer to use and how much.
Every one sold in the gardening centers has a different ratio and they
all claim to be the best.

You likely don't need any commercial fertilizer for the home garden... a
little composted cow manure is probably as good as it gets. You'd be wise
to get yourelf a composter for your kitchen scraps.
