For me I start out my 7gal.grow bags by mixing with 1 cup of garden lime 2tbs of Epsom salt 1tsp of calcium nitrate (For bags growing tomatoes or peppers) 1/4 cup of bone meal then 1 to 1-1/2 cups of 10-10-10 around the edge of the grow bag after I put the plant in. For the 1st month I don't add anything. After the fist month I feed my plants every 2 wks., I use a water soluble fertilizer I mix 2TBS and water in a 2 gal. watering can 1 can will feed 8 of my grow bag plants. The blend I use for my tomatoes, peppers & cukes is a 15-30-15 I've used this blend for the last 4yrs with great results. I don't add any extra to my beans or peas, but once a month I add my mix to my beets & carrots. So how often do you fertilize your grow bags and what blend has worked for you?
