When the local organic farm was open (turkeys moved on me), they told me the fertilized A LOT. Their zuke plants were twice the size as mine. Anyone have a favorite organic fertilizer for zukes? Depends on your soil. Have it tested! My soil has a good P bank, so I don't need to use fertilizers that contain high phosphorous. So mainly I use alfalfa pellets (horse food) and compost I make with shredded leaves. Tomato-tone by Espoma would probably be good for squash as well, and I have relied on it for years. That, or Plant-tone. The only organic one I could find was Dr. Earth's all purpose. Dumped two boxes on the guys. I harvested 4 and 1/2 this week. Things are looking slightly better. Along with the one from last wee in the crisper, I have enough for a pan full. |
