Age Old Bloom
This spring, you probably incorporated some organic fertilizer into the soil for your garden, particularly if you are growing vegetables or annual leafy herbs. For optimal yields, many of these plants will benefit from additional fertilizer applications through the summer. This can be done with side-dressings of granular fertilizers like Age Old ‘Grow’ (for foliar crops) or ‘Bloom’ (for fruiting crops). But for faster results, we recommend liquid organic fertilizers, because they can be quickly absorbed by plant roots and foliage. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, squashes, pumpkins, melons, and corn are considered either moderate or heavy feeders, and we recommend using either Age Old liquid ‘Bloom’ or Neptune’s ‘Rose & Vegetable’. This can be applied to the soil every two weeks or applied to all surfaces of the leaves for foliar feeding (apply to foliage in cloudy weather or just after sundown). Kale, Collard Greens, Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Cabbage are ‘brassicas’ that are considered heavy feeders, along with Bulbing Fennel, Swiss Chard and Basil. These foliage crops appreciate supplemental summer feeding to maintain their supply of nitrogen, which can be easily supplied every two weeks by Age Old liquid ‘Grow’ or Neptune’s Harvest Fish & Seaweed’.
