As the title says, what feeds will you be using this year for greenhouse plants and out door trees, onions, beans, brassicas (etc) ?

I will be using comfrey tea for all the greenhouse plants, Toms, Cucumbers, Peppers Mellons and hopefully Chillies.

Out doors it will be BFB twice a year and well rotted manure in the planting holes and as a mulch, once again twice a year.
And Comfrey tea for the Squashes, Corgettes and pumpkins every watering.
I will only be using Organic feeds.

Ahh, i forgot about the chicken manure pellets.
I'll be using them too, under the trees and around the squashes (etc).

I'm going to try comfrey tea, for the first time, on potatoes, onions and my various fruit trees.

Also I'm going to use Growmore this year, as opposed to chicken pellets, just to see if there's any noticeable difference.

Sulphate of Ammonia on my fruit - I'll rephrase that before someone says they prefer custard!  I use Sulphate of Ammonia on the ground under my fruit bushes.  Also Bone Meal when planting bushes/trees.

Growmore and bokashi tea.

I've not fertilised properly before so will be interesting to see any differences.

The bokashi tea is supposed to be an excellent plant food, but I won't have nearly enough.
