I've bin looking for some aquatic fertilizer for my plants, but can't find
any (I don't like buying on the net) Is there any other type that I can use.

What is it about buying on the net that you don't like?

It has been suggested here that the plant spikes for tomatoes and also
ferns(never seen) can be used. I bought my aquatic tabs at Lowes. Might be
worth a phone call to some of the major pet stores or Wallie's if you do not
have any water garden places in your area.

You probably have enough Nitrates (test it) for your plants, so you'll need
to add some Potassium. This can be purchased from your garden centre as
Muriate of Potash. It should be something like 0-0-60, the first 0 be
Nitrogen, the second 0 being Phosphates and the 60 being Potassium. I bought
a 1 kilo bag for about $10 Cdn and my nursery is pricey. This should be a
lifetime supply for my puddle.

I add about 2 teaspoons a week for my 500 gallon pond, so adjust your dosage
accordingly.
