Keith,

Unless you're growing stuff like Den. nobile, that needs a "winter rest"
- i.e., no nitrogen whatsoever - I find it advantageous to feed year
round.

In fact, all of my plants get 125 ppm N (about twice the concentration
Kenneth uses) at every watering.

So that is around 350 ppm ,do you feed at this rate all year round or
reduce
..
Obviously in winter watering is reduced for most plants so will get feed

less frequently .
Kenneth ,can you confirm that the 2.5 kg rain mix will be for sale at
the
Boga show as i am traveling some distance so don`t want to be
disapointed if
it is not .

Small, but very important correction.

I meant to say that we add fertilizer to reach conductivity of 550 µS,
not 550ppm....
