onion/potato fertilizer confusion
« on: February 09, 2014, 18:21 »
The labels have come off my bags of fertilizer that I keep in the shed.  So it is possible that I may have put potato fertilizer instead of onion fertilizer on the bed I'm going to put the onions in.  :wacko: I don't know what is in them, but if they are both fertilizers, will they be very different? I'm hoping I will still be able to plant my onions sets as planned. Does anybody know what the differences might be and what I could do to correct the mistake   :(

Mix them and you can do both crops...  :D :D :D

As Mum says - they are basically the same so no worries..
