Hi All, When to start fertilizing? 1) sprouts from seeds? depends upon the size of the seeds and if you've repotted into more fertile medium than seed starting mix. usually i would only supplement fertilize only if the plants are showing signs of deficiency (why waste $?)... 2) transplants from the nursery? only when actively growing and showing signs of deficiency. after a few years of planting various things you should have some idea of what is normal given your other conditions (like this year we've had a lot of rain but not much sunshine so plants will be lagging a bit). songbird |

Once things are outside, I'm pretty inconsistent. I usually add bone & blood meal to the hole when setting things out. Aside from that, I don't do much unless I see signs of a problem. -- Drew Lawson | If dreams were thunder, | and lightning was desire, | This old house would have burnt down | a long time ago |
