Tomorite

Leif

It works well on chillis but overfeeding causes too much vegetative growth and a lack of pods. Blood fish and bone has the advantage of being slower release, and you can sprinkle it on, and allow it to break down.

I bought some blood fish and bone at tescos, it was much cheaper than other places. I will use the tomorite as well when plants are ready as I have a bottle.

I will look into comfrey thanks

I don't buy any branded products - Tomorite, Phostrogen, Miracle Grow etc. A significant proportion of the price represents advertising costs and a mark up for the brand name. As a couple of posters have said fermented comfry, while smelly, is just as effective. You can also buy sulphate of potash, which is all Phostrogen is, cheaply, in bulk, on line. Again, ignore the brand names for this.

I'm afraid that is utterly wrong. Phostrogen is a balanced compound fertiliser with a considerable number of added trace elements in addition to the NPK content.

Potash provides potassium alone and is in no way comparable to a compound fertiliser, Phostrogen or any other.
