I use Espoma on everything. Holly-tone for the blueberries, Palm-tone for the coconuts, and plant-tone for everything else. I also spray with some micronutrients every once in a while. I try my best to avoid all chemical fertilizers.

I use Espoma Plant-Tone on everything along with home made compost and Black Hen composted chicken manure. I also use other specific organic nutrient sources like molasses, alfalfa, bone meal or seaweed. I will use the occasional epsom's salts or iron drench when/if needed. It seems to be the best long term plan for plant health and all my plants seem to love it.

murahilin: Where do you buy Espoma products. I believe I recall seeing them in small packages at Home Depot but can't be sure. I have used organics before when I do vegetable gardens but it seems the plants use them so quickly and they take longer to brake down in the soil. how much do you apply?

subcoofl: how do you figure how much black hen to use. I have incorporated this into the soil in the past but am not sure how to apply organics to plant otherwise.

anybody use compost tea??? Is there a better time to apply it?
