Sounds like people are guessing. Can someone, who's not guessing, clear up the confusion?
I completely agree, I have been reluctant to try the 15-5-30 because the pictures of 'those' recieving that fert don't look any better than mine by comparison---and I have been using only slow release ratio of 4-2-4 x 3 every 3 months.

I desperately need a water saluable fertiler and fast because my nanners (like the ones i have seen in members gallery) are suffering from calcium dificiency and high pH. I thought about trying Grow-more from Richard because it is water saluable, but I am concerned about the salt content with a non-liquid fert. and having to add K-Mag also? I have too many products to mix as it is.

Salt may not be a problem for most growers, but ground salt must be leaching into the reclaimed sprinkler water. So the salt is a serious issue that needs not be compounded by additional fertilizer salts. I have since stopped using all of my palm/citrus fertilizers for this reason. Now my bananas get nothing until someone answers your question John.
