No doubt the roots love DE but I'd rather not have to worry about fertilizers if I don't need to. I didn't use any ferts last year and all my plants did great in MM360.
Worth, I use Metro Mix 360 the same thing Craig used/uses(?) Im just lucky they have it locally. I tried a few other mixes last year and MM was by far the best. |
Metro Mix 360 has a "
Starter nutrient charge (with gypsum) & slow-release nitrogen" You were fertilizing but didn't know it?
I think most commercial potting mixes have starter nutrients in them including the Metro Mix line. Some mixes don't have it for growers that want to customize their own fertilization.
Whatever the medium your plants roots are sitting in is the plants stomach. No food, not enough food, the wrong kind of food or too much food and the plant will suffer.
