Popular organic liquid fertilizers.
As an experiment, I added a heavy side-dressing of mixed
blood meal, bone meal, and wood ashes and watered it in on
all the cabbage plants, but for half of them, I also watered the
leaves with a watering can containing liquid fertilizer mixed
according to package directions. The result was that all of the
plants watered with the liquid fertilizer survived and
eventually thrived, while a full half of the plants that received
only a side-dressing died.
Now, I use liquid fertilizer—specifically Neptune's
Harvest—whenever I transplant, especially in early spring.
Soil Maintenance
Believe it or not, soil is a delicate substance. More than
merely delicate, it is quite literally alive. It is the life of the
soil, not its sand and clay, that makes it fertile and productive.
