I'm starting to put together a shopping list on the products I need for my soil mix, and then I didn't have the faintest clue where to start.
I can go to Walmart and pick up EWC, Bone and Blood meal, but everything I ever learned from growing with chemicals says to stay away from pretty much anything you can buy at walmart in terms of fertilizers.
So there stems my question - does brand matter? Quality means a lot to me, but paying for a name doesn't. There's just so much out there I don't know where to begin looking, so I read the "Pimp your organic fertilizer" thread.
It didn't help much, but it gave me a few brands to look at. I found a couple that had a larger line than just a couple of products:
Gaia Green - http://www.gaiagreen.com/products/retail-products.asp
Espoma -http://www.espoma.com/p_consumer/org_trad_overview.html
I'm guessing I could get everything I'd need from those two companies. Would anyone have a better suggestion? Or preferably an online source where I can make my purchases online all in one place?
Also, can Liquid Karma and Bio-tone be used at the same time, or are they basically the same thing?
