Over-Fertilised
"Joanne" wrote in message news:zVxEc.27$Ln6.19@newsfe4-gui...
I made a mistake with my measuring and consequently over-fertilised my tomatoes and aubergines. I flushed them with clear water when I realised what I'd done. This was about a month ago. Should I not fertilise again this season, or would it be okay to begin fertilising again (paying better attention to the instructions this time)? I assume they're in pots. If they aren't showing signs of damage, I'm sure you're OK to start normal feeding again. Artificial fertilizers do carry a risk of over-feeding, but there's quite a margin of error with the ones you water on. Maybe half-strength for the first couple of feeds if you're not too sure? Plants are more interested in water than in food most of the time, anyhow: a full-grown tomato plant going full blast may drink up to two gallons a day in good weather. Watch for bad-looking leaves. I wouldn't be surprised if the makers of Phostrogen or whatever had a help-line on their website, or a list of FAQs. Mike. |
