I was wondering if anyone could answer this question about foliar feeding(I think that's the term for using water saluable fertilizers on leaves). I heard fish emulsion is great. Is other water saluable fertilizers like 20-20-20 ok too? How much fertilzer should you spray on per 100sq feet? And is it better to do it all once a week or break it up to twice a week? Thanks for the help. Jim

walton n.y.

there are water souluable fertilizers made for foliar feeding schultz makes a triple 20 in that form watch mixing some fertilizers with pesticides as they react together mostly all they do is gum up your sprayer a test batch in reduced amounts can help you prevent screwing up your sprayer i think 1x vs. 2x a week depends on how much time you have and your train of thought fertilizer salesman say reduced rates more often pumpkin growers say poor it on
