Hi All,

I water my ground pots with a watering want
on sprinkle.

I picked out a liquid fertilizer that I liked
as it had a lower nitrogen and a higher phosphate
number (1-3-1).

https://www.amazon.com/Espoma-Bl18-Bloom-Organic-Plant/dp/B07VL4XZZS

They want you to premix 1/2 cap to one quart of water.

This is a supreme hassle to to do over so many
ground pots.

Is there any reason why I can't just put a 1/2
cap in each ground pot and then go back and
water it in with my watering wand?

Many thanks,
-T

yes, even if you immediately watered and did not
wait it may still be too strong in spots and do
harm to the roots of the plant. if you look up
what fertilzer burn is you can see that it's not a
good thing to do to a plant.

I thought that was not possible with
organic fertilizers?

When I transplanted my eggplant, cucumbers,
peppers from the green house, I dumped
Jobe's organic bone meal down the hole
before inserting the plants.
I have never seen transplants so perky and
happy the next day! If plants could grin,
they were a grinnin' !

depends upon the strength, sorry i missed that
it was rather weak and organic source, so really
then the issue becomes how dispersed it would be
and perhaps may still be mostly in or near one
spot.

It is pretty weak (1-3-1).

What do you think of dissolving a bunch
in a two gallon water buckets, poured a
1/2 cups of the diluted mixture on each
ground pot, then watered it in? Sort
of a two step process?

i think it would be ok, better at least
than putting the stuff right in there and
then watering.

how big are the ground pots these days? :)
i remember when you were just starting to
dig them.

They are about 12 inches deep and about 9
inches in diameter.

They are in hard pack decomposed sandstone
(ancient lake bottom). Before adding peat
moss and fertilizer to the hole, filling
them with water takes about 6 hours or
more to drain.

The idea was pots that do no blow over in
the wind and not having to amend ($$$)
the entire area.

The soil in these holes has worms in them
and feels really nice in my hands.
