I've done so much research on fertilizing/feeding in the past couple days that my head is spinning. I've narrowed it down to these three being among the most popular, each one seems to have its own devout following:
Dyna-Gro Foliage Pro (9-3-6)
Osomocote (15-9-12 or 14-14-14)
SuperThrive ("non-toxic vitamin solution. It works directly on seeds and roots to create vigorous roots and robust plants")
I couldn't put this in any other forum because I have a wide enough variety of plants in different situations and I'm trying to have a realistic maintenance level and cost-efficient feeding schedule so it seems it would be silly to buy different food for everyone. I think I could manage two if I had to - one for fruit/vegetables and one more foliage-focused. But I'd rather not go further than that if it can be helped. (I'm already getting Neem from Dyna-Gro since it's well-reviewed across the board and more cost effective than buying ready-made sprays.) I know SuperThrive doesn't quite seem like it belongs, but it can be (and often is) used for maintenance in just the same way as the others.
Can you guys help me decide which of the above to feed with? Here's what I have:
Containerized:
Basil, lemon thyme, chives, rosemary, greek oregano, italian parsley, curley parsley, aloe vera, bay laurel, sweet mint, miniature rose.
In-Ground:
Bell pepper (red and gypsy), cantaloupe, carrot, sweet corn, spacemaster cucumber, green beans (contender bush), mild jalapeno pepper, crimson giant radish, brandywine heirloom tomato, catnip, cilantro, more oregano/rosemary/chives/parsley, a mum, a primrose, and several roses that were already planted when I moved in.
Thank you in advance :)
