Vegetables, Sprouts and Herbs for Las Vegas and What Fertilizer to Use

Vegetables, Sprouts and Herbs for Las Vegas and What Fertilizer to Use

Do you have some extra seed? Ever consider growing sprouts with them instead of letting them go to waste? The plant parts we eat helps us to determine the type of fertilizer we need to apply. It is up to to you whether you apply fertilizer to the soil or spray it on the foliage. 

High phosphorus fertilizers promote flowering, fruiting, root development, nut and oil production. 
High nitrogen promotes leaf and stem production. 

You should have three fertilizers available for fertilizing just about everything: a high phosphorus fertilizer, high nitrogen fertilizer and a balanced 1:1:1 fertilizer. Granules for soil applications or soluble fertilizers for liquid applications to the plant. 

ALWAYS use a wetting agent like EZ Wet to inprove penetration of the nutrients inside the leaves instead of running off the plant and onto the soil.
