Re: Time for xtra potassium?

     The best advice for getting fertilizers is "get to know a fruit farmer" 
  That is how I get my fert.  My brother in law has huge quantities of fert 
and I just take the left overs that he can no longer use.  So I got a 50 llb 
bag of 14-0-47.  That can last me close to a life time
