How often to use liquid fertilizers?

How often to use liquid fertilizers?

I have purchased Powfeed All purpose and Scotts Osmocote Pour feed liquid fertilizer for my veggies - tomatoes, cucumbers, and chilli. 

How often should I use these both products? How frequently I should use? 

For example, I have used Scotts Osmocote liquid fertilizer today,as per label can reuse after 15days. But when I should use powerfeed to keep in mind to avoid overfertilising? Can I use straight after scotts liquid fertilizer? Or I have to wait for 2 weeks?

Thanks

Re: how often to use liquid fertilizers

Hi @sau1,

 

Thank you for your question about how often to use fertilisers.

 

Scotts Osmocote Pour + Feed and PowerFeed Fertiliser Liquid Concentrate are very similar products that both contain fertiliser and soil conditioning elements.

 

Applying both products is unnecessary as they are essentially the same thing.

 

If you'd like to use both, then I would apply one of them initially, wait 15 days, then apply the other, repeating as needed.

 

This staggered approach ensures your plants receive nutrients regularly without overwhelming them. Just keep an eye on the plants, if you see signs of overfeeding such as burnt tips or excessive foliage with no fruit, reduce the frequency.

Let me know if you have any further questions.
