Fertilizer in the reservoir?

[cythaenopsis]

I'm a bit of a pack rat (who has a project "shedding" going on, btw) and happened to have some thick spongy foam packing material on hand. I used a serrated knife and cut through it like bread, making a few rectangular shapes. I was able to stuff these into the container opening to block any insect traffic. Seems to be working, plus if the container overfills the water still leaks out.

I have a "shedding" project going on too. It's called three large dogs in the house and sweeping up hair until the dust mop wears out.

There is a misconception out there that bloom formulas are good for large fruiting vegetables. At no stage of their life cycle is this true. No large vegetables want, or can utilize, large amounts of P. Phosphorus requirements actually stay modest throughout the life cycle. The middle number (P) should ideally be less than the N and K. The boost that you want is in K and Mg, with a considerable amount of Ca as well.

Hope this helps....

Don't use regular Miracle Gro. Got to get the one for Tomatoes and other veggie plants. The regular gives you plenty of nice green leaves but not much veggie.
