fertilizer how and when
I am interested in how folks fertilize their herbs and vegetables. I have potted herbs - basil, rosemary, mint, chives, dill, cat-mint, as well as lettuce, tomatoes, bell pepper, chilli, spinach...
I would like to know how to fertilize and how often. I'm thinking of using household ingredients: egg shells for calcium, aquarium water for nitrogen, urine, milk and coffee grounds are all other ingredients that I have readily on hand. However, I'm not sure how often I should fertilize and in what combination. Obviously some plants like the tomatoes will need more, than say the rosemary. Difficult! I cannot make a compost heap or have a wormery where I live, so I've gotta do the best I can with what's at hand, and I want to keep it organic. Any advice would be much appreciated. |

Quote:
For efficiency, your potted herbs can be fed every two weeks with a liquid fertilize such as fish emulsion, mixed at full strength as suggested on the product label. Organic nutrients are recommended over synthetic, because synthetic fertilizers usually contain a lot of salts, and this can build up over time in potting soil.
