OR .... use a dry granular type (farm vegetable fertilizer triple NPK) apply twice per growing season. Then foliar spray the plant if needed every 2 or 3 weeks using a pump sprayer or garden hose sprayer. .... The granular fertilize is a slow release type and will last longer. The liquid fertilizer is for quick uptake by the plant and require more frequent application to prevent leaching losses and to need to apply 2 or 3 times more fertilizer to compensate the losses. ... I assume you are applying the water soluble as a ground drench rather than as a foliar spray.
