Re: Time and fertilizer wait for no man
Kathie,
The schedule you speak off is a fantastic baseline formula for timing.
However you definitely can customize it to the needs of your soil or plant.
If you have high nitrogen then get a fert that is low in N. say a
2N-10P-10K. If your test was low in P-phos. The you would go 10-20-10 or
15-30-15...and if your soil was good in both N and P then get 0-0-10, 0-0-46
there are many fert formulas.........hope this helps..MB
