Default Thanks for the fertilizer info on the Wiki...

Just wanted to say thanks to all those who contributed to the fertilizer page on the Wiki - very valuable. I've been brainstorming fertilizer options as I consider what I will use in the spring. As I have about 10 or 12 mats going now, I will require an increasing amount of fertilizer (not to mention what I need for everything else!).
One option is to buy 50 lb bags of 6-2-12 from Going Bananas, but they don't ship (wouldn't be cost-effective anyway) so I would have to go down there or catch them at one of the gardening events nearby. It seems like I could still use more potash. I've been trying to find something like Muriate of Potash or another high-potash fertilizer available in the area, without success. If any Central Floridians know of a supplier, please let me know.
If anyone has any other ideas, let me know. So far, I've been using granular Sunniland Citrus alternating with Espoma Citrus. I've also used Going Bananas in the past, but it's just not as readily available, as mentioned. I've not used water-solubles up to this point.
