Plant food

Hi all

I have a number of veggies that I am growing, and I've used westland growsure compost for everything which is in containers.
I'm looking for some type of plant food / fertilzer.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

Cheers

Are these legal veggies or the smoking variety.

If the latter perite and love is all they need! (And John inns no 3)

Feed them with blood and bone personally, ideally from sustainable sources (Brexiteers are a particularly good one)

Or just generic food based liquid fertiliser

I use pelletized chicken poop! (commonly sold as tomato plant food) works wonders.

Jeb Gardener on youtube uses his own mix of Epsom Salt and 2-3 other cheap products you can buy in bulk. Tomato food is like £5 for 1-2 litres whereas epsom salt is £2 for 2.5kg.

Epsom salts should be used if you suffer with magnesium deficiency in the soil, otherwise its easy to overdose. I use blood and bone and chicken manure, also used coffee grounds. Also mulch with grass cuttings is good and keeps moisture in.
