Time release fertilizers

 

I grow everything in containers, and use Pro-Mix BX as the soil medium.
Very happy with it. It drains so well, I worry that the water soluble
fertilizer leeches out too quick. A garden expert whose podcast I listen
to <Ron Wilson> is an avid proponent of Osmakote, a time release
fertilizer.
Does anyone use a time release, and how do you think it works for you?
Do you still give your plants extra feedings?

I have used Osmakote for a couple of years with good results, and I do
not feed inbetween.

Thanks !
Perhaps I will try it this year..It does surprise me that no other
feedings are needed, I thought maybe once a month or so, but if you are
happy with the results...............

btw--Down boy, down....I figured I may get some grumbles from this,
but I have to ask questions based on what I do...
See Charlie, it sure didn't take me long!! P-)

 



Yeah, it's all there in black and white for everyone to see. You don't
even know the name of the poison that you use, "Osmocote". That really
encourages the faint hope that you can use it wisely. There are just no
words to describe your brilliance. None at all.
