Re: fertilizer questions


     Hi Keith,
     
     I use my own compost, and also supplement with composted steer manure 
     every spring (bought from Home Depot). Sometimes I use Kellogg's 
     Amend. (sure to get some flak for that.) Works for me. During the 
     growing, fruiting and harvesting season, I use liquid fish emulsion 
     every two weeks. I also put in some vermiculite and gypsum 
     occasionally (we have very alkaline soil). If you have acid soil, try 
     lime. I have been wanting to find a cheap source of concentrated 
     liquid seaweed or kelp extract, as I heard it is also a good addition 
     along with the fish emulsion, but so far no cheap source.
     
     Good luck,
     Shawn

I do not want to start a raging debate over organic or chemical fertilizers, but
I am in a quandary as to fertilizing my square foot garden.  I would like to 
hear how the folks on this list are fertilizing their garden, how you make it 
(components) where you buy from etc...
     
Thanks for any information...
Keith in South Carolina...
