Selecting the Right Formulation

Although balanced or “all-in-one” organic fertilizers are available on the market, I prefer to tailor my approach and consider each plant’s requirements.

Fruiting crops like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants will benefit from a product with a higher concentration of phosphorous (P) and potassium (K) than nitrogen (N), since these macronutrients support flowering/fruiting and overall plant health.

Leafy green plants like lettuces, brassicas, and Asian greens will benefit from an organic fertilizer with a higher percentage of nitrogen (N) as this macronutrient will support the production of foliage, which is what we want when the focus is on producing lush and juicy leafy greens.
