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

I use muriate of potash, but my soil at the farm has a tremendous buffering capacity and has an abundance of magnesium. I have some sandy/rocky/ marly soil near the house in the backyard. It is a garbage mixture of fill and rubble from an old house. There, I basically spoon feed my plants a 50/50 mix of ammonium sulfate and muriate of potash. Basically 1/12 lbs/week. All the micronutrients go out as foliar nutrition.
