What do you think?

Forgot to mention that I apply once a month..

Also, do you think it is okay to use it on my many potted trees? I have a key lime, sugar apple, guava, grumichama tree, and some pepper plants in pots. I applied the fert to them as well and had amazing results. Lots of new growth from all plants, but I think I need a different fert for the pepper plants since there is lots of growth, but not many peppers.
