Default Re: Fertilization:

One way to overcome neglect is to use an inline fertigation system. For example, I bought a 1.5 gallon unit from Hydro-Scape Products. There is a bleeder pipe part in 1" or 3/4" used to attach it to your irrigation water supply. Be sure to put 2 back-flow preventers behind it so that it can't bleed into the drinking water supply and also, its illegal otherwise.

There are quite a few liquid fertilizer products sold by the gallon for the nursery industry that have N-P-K ratios in the range we are looking at; e.g., 10-2-13.
