Hi Bill,Hi Bob Why do you want to use something sooooooo high in potash? Potash is good but I only add what my garden needs. Did you get a soil test? If not stay with more even numbers. Good Luck Bill Garvey White Lake, Michigan
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I had 2 different labs do 4 different tests on my main patch over the past year. Nitrogen has added as urea and Am. sulfate before and at planting. My Phosphates levels are very high. Kinsey's srevice came back with to add 4.5 lbs/1000 sqft 0-0-50 at planting time and another 2.9lbs at time of vine running. I've added the earlier but not the later. I've use schultz tomato 18-19-30 in past years, I feel I don't need so much N and P. By donig the math I need 4.6 lbs/1000 sq ft. of 0-0-62. I would need 9.6 lbs of 18-19-30 at $3alb to make up the 2.9lbs K and add an unneeded 1.8 lbs P.
Back to my question has anyone used sugar potash?
