What should I be feeding now?
« on: June 14, 2007, 18:59 »
Hey,  :idea: After reading some recent threads, I got to wondering WHAT VEGETABLES SHOULD  I BE FEEDING NOW :?:

I've been told not to feed tomatoes until they start to form fruit.

Everything seems to be growing very well. But since my wife and I are complete novices at growing veg, I just wanted to make sure.

ive been feeding most things

caulis need a lot of feeding
toms Ive been feeding since flowers have been appearing.

Basically if it is maturing flowering, ive been feeding

Ive a a dustbin for nettle tea, comfrey tea if on the coast which I am seaweed tea.

Courgetttes, cucumbers, pumpkins. all like a good feed,

Loads of water for caulis, beetroots, pumps, courgetttes etc

Hope this helps

Hi RW,

Do you feed everything when they flower?

I've a recipe for comfrey tea from this site. Is nettle tea the same? Loads of nettle I could make fertiliser out of  :wink: ...... Oh, please post the recipe for seaweed tea too. I'll be bringing some back everytime I go by the sea. Thanks!

Oh, I've had comfrey brewing for 2 weeks now. Is it too soon to use, or can I water my plants with the solution once a week??? Thanks again!
