organic water soluble fertilizer for EZ-Flo injector?

Posted by doubravsky z9b So Calif (My Page) on

I've had three EZ-Flo injectors in different zones served by drip irrigation in my garden for several years now, and until now have always used a Scott product water soluble fertilizer. (Peters 15-5-15 for mostly palms)

But... I've started going organic in my eating, and composting, and I don't want to support that company or use a non-organic fertilizer any more.

Can anyone recommend an organic, water soluble fertilizer I can add to my EZ-Flo to use in the drip system and replace the chemicals?

thanks in advance!!!

You can use ANY soluble organic product...including humic acids and other biostimulents. I'll ask my husband what he uses as a fertilizer (I don't remember) . I know that he does purchase something from the EZ-Flo company directly.

We don't have an irrigation system but invested in a heavy duty National traveling sprinkler (affectionally named 'Scooter ') that we use with the EZ-Flo. I would never in my life have believed that those two pieces of equipment could possibly make such a difference, especially when used as infrequently as we do.

Just like the poster said above, there is tons of organic fertilizers. You can make compost tea. Make sure you use it at a 1;10 ratio of compost tea to water..

The link below for Organic Garden Grower
Specializes in organic water soluble fertilizers and offers the ez-flo injectors as well. I'm sure they would offer something to work with your scenario.
