Brussel Sprouts Fertilization

15 years ago

My BS plants appear to be doing very well. I wondered what people do for fertilizing these heavy feeders. I have been giving them blood meal and vermicompost tea. They are growing on a bed that supported legumes the previous year. I've read that Brassicas like kelp and alfalfa meal. Anyone use either of these? Does alfalfa meal attract root maggot flies? How about a homemade recipe for a basic all around fertilizer. My soil is alkaline. I use raised beds. Thanks
