For potted plants I feed them a steer manure/compost tea with organic plant food mixed in.
Nothing on my property receives any chemical foods or pesticides, not even the grass! I have two dogs and don't want them getting sick from any nasty chemicals or weed killers.  |
Wow, sounds like anything should grow well in that soil! I wish there was a local source for organic supplies in my area, I would exclusively use organics on my bananas if there were. I've been purchasing the ones I do get, through mail order, and the shipping rates are outrageous.
