Re: Question

I am suure some of the veterans will chime in, but in general high nitrogen fertilizer, while avoiding Urea as a source of nitrogen.

Re: Question

Hi Granny,
Im using miracle gro for tomatoes but it has urea. A good tomatoe fertilizer with no urea is better. Welcome to the group

Re: Question

I just read packages at wallyworld and opt for the less urea. Use smaller and more often doses until you get the feel of it.

i like to try and stay organic, for the first setting of the plants out, allthough i do use granular fertilizer, weeks ahead of the '' setting out date'' to get the soil fertile,,,and up to par with it's full nutrient count, including all trace element's

but im in the fertilizer business. so i can get my hands on things .. other growers, would salivate to have,

Organic is the one..you can't go wrong with comfree (don't know how to spell that) animal dung or seaweed fish entrails. Etc..even your banana & potato skins are good for potassium. .nothing better than O naturale

Find a local place that has several brands of tobacco. Try them in small bags and be prepared to throw some away. Also check different brands of filters. "premier" brand tubes use a longer filter and are smoother to me. One of the best smelling "bagged tobaccos" I have bought was in a silver bag, implying light or ultra light but had great flavor. Took some trial and error but have a combonation that I am satisfied with until I get my own leaf grown and cured.
