Does this soil contain plant food, or should i add a multi purpose fertilizer?

Yes it does, it's already to go just give it one month then you add your Owen fertilizer and keep in mind this soil is light and drains good and it's winter less watering. P. S excellent choice in soil five stars for the soil.

This is just my two cents worth. I suppose if you use enough of it, the pH of the soil could be raised. I base this on the fact that I use sea salt in my Cichlid fish tank to help raise the pH. However, since decomposing organic matter (like leaves and other composting matter) and many fertilizers lower the pH of the soil, it seems to me that the tendency of sea salt (such as Sea-90) to raise the pH cannot be a bad thing, assuming that you fertilize and include compost material in your garden.

I would just buy the ocean Forrest soil. As far as the liquid nutrients by fox farm the 3 are to be used throughout the whole season. The grow big bloom is for early seedling stage the grow big is for veggitating stage and when peppers start blooming switch to tiger bloom. My advice....only use 1/2 the reccomended dosage.

I have no idea about tetraflora products,but I can give ya an answer for Advance Nutrients.Yes it can be used in soil feeding.I've been using it for a year now & have got amazing results with my girls.

Absolutely! As the previous post states...use it with confidence; plants easily utilize the additional nutrients and it shows.

NO, but the dirt is quite heavy when it's filled and I agree with the other respondent that it's not necessary. That is, unless you are using it for something other than filling it with dirt and planting stuff. We love it for our side children's garden for veggies and flowers.

I use organic fertilizers, like hydrolyzed fish from Neptunes Harvest, but I have used Miracle grow as well. It does a very nice job.

It contains calcium as well as sulfur. Both are inorganic elements, but in my view are suitable for 'organic' gardening. If you were to put greensand, granite dust or dolomite on your garden these are also inorganic compounds.

I'm adding some new soil and will mix it with what I used last year. When I plant, I add a little Miracle gro fertilizer to pump up the soil as well. I hope we don't have as much rain as we did last year!

I don't know. But it does have fungicide in it. Are you okay with growing what you eat next to that? Maybe see what Mother Earth news says about building raised beds.

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that. It did work well, but I haven't bought any more, prefering to add my own fertilizer to the water beneath.

Though this is sometimes advertised as a fertilizer, it is not. It technically has NPK levels but they are minuscule (0.15, 0.15, 5.23) other than Potassium (K). It is an additive that supplies the soil with uncommon nutrients. Think of it like a vitamin for your plant; it uses what it needs and disregards the rest. In fact I would say you would ALWAYS want to use this in conjunction with a real fertilizer keeping in mind that azomite supplies some Potassium (K) already. Azomite minerals (the company) tested growing tomatos using soil that was 25% azomite and the plants did fine. It will not burn your plants like normal fertilizer will contrary to what many of the other commenters here are saying. I would visit azomite faq for more REAL information : http://www.azomite.com/faq.html

I use it when transplanting, applying the mycorrhizae granules directly onto the exposed roots. I do use compost, but do not use nitrogen fertilizer at that time. My understanding is that extra nitrogen tends to inhibit the nitrogen fixing function of the mycorrhizae. Once the plant is established with its own population of mycorrhizae inhabiting the roots I suppose that one could supplement with fertilizer as needed.

Well, you can always add something (miracle-gro) mid season if you feel it is necessary. Get the best soil mix that your nursery has. The flowers in my flower boxes using the mix from the gardenpatch were exceptional. But, that had the fertilizer tube.

I purchased this for my garden for potash. However, it says not to be used in food gardens. I did not see this on the description, if it is there. Not sure what you would use it for if not in a garden so I returned it. I don't think there is any nitrogen in this product...only potash.

Kristen, it's supposed to go on the top and acts like a fertilizer. We didn't use it though. Good Luck!

It's my understanding that additional fertilizers are not required, however i do use Seachem Flourish Tablets in my tank along with the CaribSea Eco-Complete
