High nitrogen fertilizer for what?
What are you calling high nitrogen fertilizer? And why are you cross-posting garden questions to botany and photography newsgroups? "Lisa Horton" wrote in message om... There has to be something better than the regular high nitrogen fertilizer right? |
what is best nutrient for growing plants
Hi Lisa Horton,
There has to be something better than the regular high nitrogen fertilizer right? There is no single nutrient that can call as best nutrient for growing plants. The one that plant lack of are the best one. Too much of any single nutrient will become toxic. I prefer to build up my soil with high organic content that will buffer for nutrients. Regards, Wong |

Have you tried fixative - better still, take a swig of it first to try it

"Lisa Horton" wrote in message om... There has to be something better than the regular high nitrogen fertilizer right? The best nutrients for plant growth are readily available in any good, fertile soil. If you add compost or other organic amendments on a regular basis, there will be little if any need for additional fertilizers. Fertilize only when specific nutrients are lacking and then I prefer to use an organic fertilizer that breaks down slowly so that the nutrients are absorbed as the plant requires them. You can recognize organic fertilizers (as opposed to synthentic ones) by the three numbers indicating the primary nutrient ratio - they will always add up to less than 20 High nitrogen ferts are good for lawns, but that's about it. pam - gardengal |

It may smell like sh*t for a while but it works. ;-) Needless to say, that won't work. I thought it was a perfectly reasonable question, Lisa. Best to look it up in a proper book, which is unlikely to reply with gratuitous impertinence (I take it the massive cross-posting was what annoyed our friend). Meanwhile, the usual balanced fertilizers will feed most plants ok: follow the instructions on the packet, and don't overdo it. The high-nitrogen ones are more for leaf growth -- like the ones farmers use for grass. There's no long-term substitute for a well-nourished soil, though, as plants need more than just the three main chemicals: in fact, most of the time what they really crave is good moisture-retention coupled with aeration such as they get from a soil rich in the breakdown products of other plants. Houseplants and others in containers are the main ones which want a boost from the packet. Changing their soil or compost every couple of years is a good idea for many of them. A few plants need special diets; but you probably haven't got one of these. Mike. |

!!!!!GOOD ONE!!!! Want a beautiful lawn? Like to protect the environment? You can do both according to a new study conducted by Texas A&M University for the City of Austin. Nitrogen, one of the three nutrients found in fertilizer, can travel quickly through soil to pollute our groundwater. The City's Watershed Protection and Development Review Department commissioned the study to find out which fertilizers would be least likely to pollute and still satisfy the desire for an attractive lawn. The Texas A&M conducted study compared nine different fertilizers and found that the certified organic or other natural fertilizers out-performed the synthetic ones for both appearance and pollution prevention. Horticulturists, and soil and water quality scientists considered the new data along with other studies, scientific data and practical experience to revise the recommendations that have been promoted for the last twenty years. These new recommendations reduce fertilizer use by at least 75%! Test your soil - you can't know what to add to your soil unless you know what's missing Don't Bag It! - think of mowing as fertilizing. Your lawn clippings return 60% of the nitrogen, and 100% of the phosphorous and potassium (fertilizer ingredients) back to the soil. Think how much better it is for the landfill as well. Choose carefully -- certified organic or labeled, natural fertilizer is preferred for a healthier lawn and better water quality. (If using inorganic, apply only half as much, twice as often, to prevent the fertilizer from running off or leaching to our groundwater.) If your soil test shows: Use: Low to Very Low Nitrogen in Soil ½ lb. nitrogen/1,000 square feet 2 times/year Moderate Nitrogen ½ lb. nitrogen/1,000 square feet 1 time/year High to Very High Nitrogen DO NOT FERTILIZE If you must fertilize without a soil test, never apply more than a moderate nitrogen rate or fertilize more than once a year. Never fertilize before a rain - otherwise the fertilizer can run off and fertilize our creeks, not your lawn Follow these tips to help protect Austin's environment one yard at a time!!
