Is this Scotts' regular "chemical salt fertilizer", or their organic fertilizer? If it is the former, it is toxic to many of the beneficial microorganisms in your garden soil. If it is the later, it assays at an NPK of 0.10 - 0.05 - 0.10, http://www.scotts.com/smg/catalog/pr...d=prod70308&it emId=cat80014&tabs=usage where as fish emulsion (an organic fertilizer) has an NPK or 5-1-1. What are you growing? Every plant has its own needs, not that you can't get by by using a one size fits all approach at the beginning, but you will find eventually that every plant becomes more complicated as you learn more about it. songbird gave you some good advice, to which I would add no-dig gardening.

If there aren't any, you need to improve the soil. Improve the soil, and the earthworms will come. Good luck, -- - Billy Mad dog Republicans to the right. Democratic spider webs to the left. True conservatives, and liberals not to be found anywhere in the phantasmagoria of the American political landscape. America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash. It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks and the portfolios of the uber-rich. http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/.../michael-moore /michael-moore-says-400-americans-have-more-wealth-/ |
