My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Fertilizer for SWC Vegetables

18 years ago

Hey Guys,

I'm new to container gardening and have a question about fertilizer. I've built a SWC akin to the earthbox and I need to select my fertilizer. Two question:

1. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good all purpose fertilizer?

2. How much do I use for my fertilizer strip? My instructions that I got online tell me to place a strip down the middle of my container, but they don't really tell me how much to use?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
