Here's another question to help me plan my dream garden.
I'd like to find out what store bought nutrients outdoor/ backyard growers prefer, something good for large containers raised beds and/ or in the ground. It seems your average soil has enough nutrients for a month. Outdoor plants are too darn big to transplant each month... so how to keep that soil fertile? Do you folks prefer liquid fertilizers or dry? Is the kind of dry fertilizers you scratch into the dirt around each plant a better option? Do you feed every third watering or other?
No matter what, these nutes have to be affordable enough to use on my MJ plants, and hopefully all outdoor plants. Originally, I thought feeding with liquid nutes would be the easiest outside. Now, I'm debating on dry fertilizers scratched into the soil. It would be easier to carry a box of dry nutes to each plant rather than a few gallons of nutes in water to each plant. Any opinions here? Man, I can't imagine schlepping water to stealth grows in the deep woods, especially in this hot no rain climate.
The fertilizers I've heard are favorites so far are: Liquid: Dyna Gro, Jack's Classic, Age Old Organics, Earth Juice and Dr. Earth. Dry nutes are: Dr. Earth, Fox Farm, plus Happy Frog. (made by FF?) I've heard MJ is an acid loving plant and does well with tomato food. Is there any truth to this? I'd like to go Organic, but it's not important so far.
So.... Tell me what ya like, why, how much, how often and which products you feel are essential for the outside grower. It's not about the best fertilizer, but easiest to use reliable and most affordable.
