I am starting a graden and wanted input on an Organic Fertilizer for
Vegetables

I want to try to grow lettuce, jalapenos, cilantro, and tomatoes.

Thoughts?
**************

I grow tomatoes in pots in nothing but pecan leaf compost with a bag
of
cheap manure mixed in. I only feed them a blender full of egg shells,
banana
peels, coffee grounds, and a little molasses poured in a gallon of
rainwater
a couple of times a season.

You are making compost tea? How long do you let it soak?

I do make compost tea and alfalfa tea at times (aerated for three days),
but this is just a kitchen leftovers smoothie and I pour it right on. I
figure the soil microbes will eat what they want.
Dang, I always forget to mention using Epsom salt, too.

I like getting a 50lb bag each of alfalfa pellets and dried molasses
from
Buck Moore Feed store on Lamar. I just called and they're around $13 a
bag.

Coffee grounds from Starbucks are free......
