I've been reading about the importance of micronutrients in another thread. I already add mycorrhizae to my tomatoes in ground and container grown. I remember reading here that one should not use a fertilizer with a (was it phosphate or potassium) level higher than 4 for the mycos to be effective. So, since I am already adding mycos, should I not use the miconutrient mix described in a thread on container gardening?
Also, is adding that 13...13...13 fertilizer mix considered to supportive of organic gardening methods or not? I do not want to ruin my soil. As you can see, I need to learn alot about soilbuilding.
Thanks for any help!
