What is the best organic make of Growmore? I am a bit lost looking on the web.

Fish, blood & bone is often used instead of Growmore.

What is the differents betweem them? I lot of books talk about Growmore.

[mumofstig]

'growmore' is non organic but has the chemicals needed for growth in the NPK ratio of
7;7;7.
BF&B is organic and has NPK ratio of 6:6:6.
( The chemicals.... N is nitrogen, P is phosphorus and K is potassium, sometimes called potash)

So they are roughly the same, you  just choose whether you want organic or not

Thats a great help. I have been using FBB on my soil to get it ready for my plants. One more question, When the plants are growing to a good size in the summer what would you put on them. Can you mix FBB in water or do you have to dig it in to the soil? Sorry i am new!

[mumofstig]

I put it on the surface and just tickle it in to the top of the soil, just so that it doesn't sit on the top, if you get what I mean. if the soil is too hard just water it in and hope for the best Well...that's what I do

Did use goats poo for my tomatoes for a few years, and tomatoes tasted lovely

But you can't use blood fish and bone if you are a vegitarian

Sheep poo in a hesian sack and suspended in a rain barrel makes very good liquid feed, even better and smellier if mixed with comfrey leaves.
