Blue Java Ice Cream, I'm trying to wrap my head around this fertilizer thing with the N-P-K and I live in the Atlanta, GA burbs.

If you say Banana Fuel is 15-5-30 and needs a Nitrogen supplement, Why does the fertilizer you use have only 6 for Nitrogen? Do you use a Nitrogen supplement? If you do, what is it(brand)?

Thanks for helping me understand this stuff!
