When I make a batch of potting mix I do not add the time delay fertilizer. When I actually do the potting I add the fertilizer. This gives me the opportunity to vary the type and amount of fertilizer to match what i am potting. Also mixing time release fertilizer into a damp mix starts the clock. Al

When I make the soil mix, it's dry. If the ingredients are wet, I let it dry out before I plant.

Thank you for posting on my thread, and sorry if this comes off as rude, it's not my intention, but you never answered my original questions.

Can you please do so?

Thank you

My advice is that you follow the directions on the bottle.

I really like the product myself. Osmocote only works for 3 months when temps reach 85 degrees, that is not long enough.Dynamite will work for 4-5 months at those temps. Mixing it in the soil will work fine. I would add slightly more than suggested.

I use MG Shake n Feed. It is also Slow Release. It is readily available off the shelf in big box stores and the cost is not very high. 4 pound sells for about $14.50 pls tx.

I used it just for containers. It is too expensive for garden beds. There are less expensive fertilizers for in ground veggies.

'Unfortunately some of the veggies (peppers and eggplants) don't like the Osmocote'

What is the problem you've observed with the use of Osmacote with your peppers and eggplants? It's hard to say whether Dynamite will be better if we don't know what problem you're trying to solve.
