Feeding with Baby Bio??

Hi All


Is Baby Bio any good for veg, I hate waste and have found some in the cupboard, I don't have many indoor plants so may as well use this on the veg although that is only if it will do any good!!

I am growing the usual stuff Toms, Lettuce, Radish, Parsnips, Spring Cabbage, Strawberries, Potatoes, Cucumbers, and others.

Is there a site that explains what is required for what veg and what % is best.

I haven't got any Baby Bio around, is there an N-P-K ratio on the instructions?

If the numbers are the same - such as 5-5-5 or 2-2-2 then its a general fertiliser - no good for Toms (once first truss has set) nor Cues once they start fruiting.

If it is high Nitrogen (such as 10-2-2) then it will stimulate growth ... and high Potassium (2-2-10 ) is good for fruiting plants - such as Toms and Cue once they start making fruit.

Ah .. having typed all that I did the obvious thing and looked it up on Bayer's web site:

NPK:

10.6 - 4.4 - 1.7


So that's mostly Nitrogen, for growth, and almost no Potassium (for fruit).


I reckon that is best for Cabbage, Lettuce and possible Radish and Parsnips early in their life cycle. I'd keep it off the others altogether.

 

i personally would not use it on anything other than houseplants. but that's just me.
