NPK

just wondering if there is an ideal range for NPK slow release fertilisers etc? I have seen some on the shelves stating 10/11/10 and others stating 10/13/10 etc.Im looking to find out what the ideal range is if its slow release granules or even the ideal for liquid form for outdoor plants.Any help thanks in advance.

I'm probably going to ruffle a few feathers, but my advise is to forget you ever heard of NPK. Ditch the prepackaged time release fertilizers and get some quality organic amendments like kelp meal, crab meal, neem meal, rock dust, etc. The plants will take what they need.

Peace!
P-

no dramas pattahabi any advice is gd advice...im actually thinking of putting together a mix that includes worm castings,quality soil,and blood n bone with perlite/vermiculite mixed in a small part

npk is a marketing scheme... just a nice balance is good 2-3-3 or 4-5-5 or similar. you really don't need and want that high of npk. That will just cause abuse to the plant.

making your own soil mix and making your own worm castings and compost is the best way to go

worm castings and gd soil is a definite for my ground : )

Yes.
