Organic Fertilizer

18 years ago

What kind of fertilizer should I prefer for my azalea/gardenia beds and my grass beds? I want to use what is best for the plants and the soil with the same fertilizer for the entire garden. I have thought that I should use only organic fertilizers with sulfur content and not synthetics. I would appreciate any opinions and experience. Thank you.

Whitney Farms is a good brand IMO and has one for azalea's.
OSH carries another organic brand but I can't remember right now.
I use the Whitney Farms bloodmeal on my sagos and they love it.

I've been using E.B.Stone. They have a wide product line of organics.

For the ultimate organic fertilizer, make your own compost and add used coffee grounds from your local Starbucks for acidity. Completely natural, no packaging, and no transportation costs!
