What Kind of Organic Fertilizer for Potted Cucumber?

Sun May 23, 2010 8:28 pm

Hi all.

I know this info must already be on here, but I seem unable to find it. I'm just wondering what type of organic fertilizer to use on my potted cucumber. Besides homemade compost - just don't have time for that this year. I've read several opinions which lead me to believe fish emulsion might be the way to go. Anybody have a better idea?

Thanks very much.

You have the time to make your own fertilizer?
Make ACT for your cucumbers. Act is a liquid fertilizer. Look at the top of the organic lobby. There should be a thread called aerated compost tea. You should make this for your vegitables to grow safe and healthy plants.

Simple worm castings also do a world of good. Fish emulsion can be an ingredient in act. Learn for yourself in the ACT thread or get some worms and throw them into your mix and add worm food ( kitchen craps).

HG has yet to rain on my adding of kitchen scraps and worms method of fertilization so I recomend it.
Take care.
You can solve all your problems in a garden/laboratory.
