That's right Cam, because roots are what take in the fertilizer...so if there are no roots, there can be no uptake of nutrients.

Foliage feeding is becoming popular though now too.

I also enjoy Blood & Bonemeal as another wonderful organic fertilizer...although the box I have is too ratty and used looking to show pics!

I enjoy eggshells for slow-release calcium, and Epsom salts are a personal favorite too.

Sheep & Cow manure and Peat Moss are what I use as garden soil fertilizers and amendments...not to mention "Black Earth".
