Drip irrigation fertilizer question

14 years ago

I an switching to a drip system for my 20' x 30' vegi garden.

In the past years, I fertilized with miracle grow, using a watering can.

With the drip system, I was thinking of buying a fertilizer injector for it.

A few questions.

Can I use the miracle grow granular fertilizer, or what should I use?

How should I determine how much fertilizer to use?

Any recommended fertilizer injectors? Hand made setup?

It's planting season down here in FL.
