I have been using Seaweed extract and alternate with fish emulsion. Both at very light doses when I water. Derrick told me of this and I seem to have more inflos than ever before. I put the epson salt on in Jan.-Feb. roxanne

Roxanne,

Which brand and where to buy these? What do you think about using them together? Do you think the one I bought will be ok?

I gave them one dose of Epsom salt in April and another in May. But that's about all they got so far this year. So far ten plumerias are pushing inflos so I am very pleased. But I feel like I am starving them or something.

Thanks for your help.

I use the foliar spray combo of Spray N Grow, Cocowet and Bill's Fertilizer. I know Bill's is organic. Not sure if this helps or not.

I like Dr. Earth #8 watered with seaweed extract in the water and a few drops of superthrive. I like spray n grow but it is a hastle to make up and spray on all my plants. One of the problems with using fish emulsion is it is high in nitrogen which can lead to leggy plants. I cut the nitrogen level after the first month. Also epsom salts are only needed sparingly like in March and then May.

Thanks Bill. I won't use fish emulsion then since I don't like the leggy look. I bought Maxicrop Seaweed Soluable powder so I will just use that with Dr. Earth # 8. Can I add Dr. Earth and Maxicrop seaweed together or do I need to alternate them? Thanks so much!

you can mix them. The only problem with Dr. Earth is that is has a strong scent (smells like sh#t) the first day. Also, it talks about making a tea- if you do not like the smell of it do not make the tea because after 24 hrs in water it is really strong. As a powder sprinkled around the plant it is not bad. Say hi to the rest of the family from me. Bill

I don't like sh#t! LOL. But it only lasts for a day thought right? I guess that's the price I have to pay to have an organic garden.

I will... you should take DH out next time you surf. We would love to watch too.
