Feeding Seedlings
« on: March 22, 2010, 19:24 »
Hi

What should I feed my seedlings Toms mainly at the minute but hopefully Aubgerines, Peppers & Chillies shortly.

Thought I read here FB&B but not 100% sure and how do you work out how much in small pots?

Sorry its always questions questions questions!

Thanks
Missy

You don't need to feed them anything until they start developing flowers/small fruit - then all the things you mention will benefit from tomato feed such as Tomorite or similar.

If you potted them up into potting compost or multipurpose then there will be enough nutrient in the pot to keep them going till they want potting out to bigger pots ot planting out. Start feeding once there in the ground.

Last year I tried maxicrop seaweed extract, root development was far superiour than those that were just watered, you can use it to dampen the compost before you sow.
As they say above, there is enough nutrients to grow on in your compost but if you want stronger plants then try it.
