How can I safely feed my plants when they are soaked from all the rain?
I’ve got a bit of a problem! I haven’t been able to feed my plants for about 2 weeks now. See I usually have to mix the food (either liquid or dry powder) with water. Obviously I can’t do that when it’s been raining like every single day for at least a week now. So I don’t dare add more water to the plants than they are already getting. Yeah the ground is literally over saturated so much so that my backyard flooded just yesterday. So is there anyway I can safely feed them? Do I just leave them alone until the weather changes? Here are the names of the fertilizers I use…. Biobizz Biogrow (liquid) and Jacks Professional (dry powder form). Thanks in advance for any help!

Re: How can I safely feed my plants when they are soaked from all the rain?
I am guessing putting down composted manure or some such thing isn't an option:
Its a bit pricey, but assuming its important to feed your bananas during this rain (and I don't know that it is, we don't usually get tons of rain during the summer so haven't really thought about it), one could consider a sustained release product i.e. Osmocote or something like that. You do have a lot of plants, so cost might be prohibitive. Just a thought

Leave well alone pr you’ll be killing them with kindness. They can do without food for a week or two. The saturated ground will be damaging enough as it is.
