The potash is only utilized to the extent that nitrogen is present, in the ratio 1.5 parts potash to 1 part nitrogen (by weight). So if a person has no other inputs of nitrogen, then 15-5-30 banana fuel plus 5-1-0.5 fish emulsion in equal amounts is an excellent combination. Another possibility would be 15-5-30 banana fuel plus a 1/2 portion of 10-0-0 blood meal -- since the blood meal has twice the percentage needed.
