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?

Pro-Mixhttp://www.greenhousemegastore.com/Pro-Mix-BX-38CF-Compressed/product...

I have used Osmakote for a couple of years with good results, and I do
not feed inbetween.

Thanks !
Perhaps I will try it this year..It does surprise me that no other
feedings are needed, I thought maybe once a month or so, but if you are
happy with the results...............

Tim

btw--Down boy, down....I figured I may get some grumbles from this,
but I have to ask questions based on what I do...
See Charlie, it sure didn't take me long!! P-)
