Ok, thanks. So for the remaining 3.5 lbs, since I cant till it in when the
plant is growing, should this be in addition to normal fertilizing, or just
ensure that my within my fertilizing routine, N should be heavy? Also, Since
my K is very high (263) I dont think I should put any in normally. If I add
the recommended P, should my fertilizing include any P? I assume the best
thing to do is to add recommeded things, and fertilize normally using higher
P for rooting, N for plant growth and K for fruit growth.
Thanks for any comments.
