When it gets cooler outside or you are starting plants it's best to use synthetic ferts. If you grow most of your stuff in containers the way I do it's best to give your plants some good organic slow release fertilizer every few months and supplement it with synthetic fertilizer every 7 to 30 days depending on how much rain your area gets. It took me a few years of growing in containers to realize that organic fertilizers don't typically do well in containers by themselves unless you introduce red wigglers or other means of breaking down the fertilizers quicker such as sugars and active bacteria or fungus spores.

The thing people are missing when it comes to organic is the concept of time. In Elliot Colemans book "The New Organic Grower" on page. 85 and 86 he discusses the natural process and how amendments need time to break down. You clearly understand, but alot of "fad farmer" don't. Organic fertilizer works in seed starting especially well if you make large barches of seed starting mix 6 months prior to actually needing it. Its hard to do sometimes, but can be extremely cost effective, especially in the dark times we are in. Love you guys.. God bless.

I got a siphon from yall for my birthday. I am not sure what i did wrong but the fertilizer in the bucket never changes in level. I used it for a whole month on my entire garden. But it never sucked anything through. So i took it off. I followed the directions and made sure i didnt have more than 50 ft of hose past it. And i also tried it directly behind the wand and neither worked. Is there another configuration i can try? I was really excited to get it because i am disabled and i was sure looking forward to making feeding the garden a little less strenuous on my body. I cant afford the irrigation one.

Many nurseries and large market gardens use vermiculite on top, as it keep the seed and upper soil optimally moist in the early days. Perlite is best used for reducing mechanical resistance to root growth, and helping air circulate through growing medium. It is often mixed in seed starter mix at 15-30% by volume. Vermiculite is best used sprinkled over fresh sown seeds. If in a drier climate, then it can also be used instead of perlite in the starter mix.
