I bought a handful of tomato plants Saturday (braved a sandstorm, I did - bad timing, it was) and then found out that the grower would be there today, so I went down to ask the grower all my stored-up questions. Wow, am I glad - I feel as though I found a walking gold mine. He not only had knowledgeable, satisfying type, experience-driven answers to my "but why" questions, but lots more. I didn't impulse buy the fertilizer/supplements he had, but now I'm kind of wishing I had!! They are the types I've been looking for and more.
Hopefully to keep it short, but to still give you something to chew on... Background: I want to not only have a plant survive long enough to get it's money's worth of produce, I want it to be a healthy plant with beneficial existence and benefits. That would be high brix. I just deleted a paragraph of rambling and explaining... If I learned anything in my college years, it is that I can make things harder than is needed... and if blogging has taught me anything, is that I can type more than I can talk....
But in this case the hunt for a successful garden just got easier. I can stop trying to look for all the separate ingredients of the ideal plant fertilizer. The man I met on Monday has already done it for me. In his own search for what truly works (and keeps working, working, working,...) in what was already his successful organic commercial tomato production, he searched out and tested out the ideal nutrients. And after years of creating and testing and then using his results... I found the video online that tells how he met someone with a marketing background.... now he sells it... they have an online website and now go out (with dirt under his nails!) telling other people what he has found and selling face to face. And what did he sell me on? oh, only really awesome stuff!! :)
  • The fastest growing seaweed harvested (in the world!?) from the mineral rich waters Norway
  • Fish emulsion made from the beginning for the specific purpose (from the whole fish (not byproduct leftovers) processed gently (not cooking the death out of it and bottled as needed to create a finished "whole" product)
  • and a rich organic (meaning: used to be alive!) mixture that includes humic (sp?) mined out of Mexico measured out in amounts so that it gives the needed and proper benefit, not simply to be able to throw words on the label.
I restrained from any impulse buys in order to save some moula by setting up to do a bulk buy. http://sweetcornorganicnursery.com/store/categories/Soil-Amendments-%26-Fertilizers/
