I'm wanting to give the plant both but they dont interact well. What would you do if you wanted to add both at this point in the season, when tilling them in to the soil is no longer an option... Thanks

If interested in this conflict, this is a good read:

Never feed phosphorus with anything unless you have a special blend made just for this. I'm lucky to have some " Baicor " which has a P already mixed with micros.

Feed your P as your soil or tissue says then feed your zinc the next day or so and you'll be good.

Phosphorus can be a tricky one.

Good luck.

Thanks.

I am alternating the timing and/or location of these fertilizers so that they are not in direct conflict.

That mulder's chart could describe human relationships. Sorry for being a bit calcium-ish... getting along with no one!

We're all here doing the same thing. Trying to help each other do just a little better than the year before.:)
