Citrus tree growing should not be a mystery at this point - they've been cultivated for over 2,000 years.
Why is it, then that if you check out the fertilizer ratios for blends that are made for citrus, that they are all over the map? I don't mean small differences, but big ones!
Dr Earth: 7-4-2
Espoma: 5-2-6
Grow Power: 8-6-8
EB Stone: 7-3-3
Grow More (1): 7-3-3
Grow More (2): 20-10-15
Vigoro: 6-4-6
Whitney Farms: 4-1-2
Jack's Classic 20-10-20
I normalized to 7 parts N to make comparisons easier:
dr earth (baseline) 7.00 4.00 2.00
espoma 7.00 2.80 8.40
grow power 7.00 5.25 7.00
eb stone 7.00 3.00 3.00
grow more #1 7.00 3.00 3.00
grow more #2 7.00 3.50 5.25
vigoro 7.00 4.67 7.00
whitney farms 7.00 1.75 3.50
jacks classic 7.00 3.50 7.00
So..what gives? Shouldn't these formulations be a lot closer to one another? Are some of these people right and some wrong? If some are for different soils or climates, they don't seem to mention it on the bag as far as I can tell.
I find the whole thing confusing!
