Help with fertilizing schedule for veggie garden

herbal
12 years ago

I have a strawbale garden going. Each bed is 6 bales side by side, with a 3-4 inch compost mix atop. The mix is composed of beautiful black compost(2 year old composted horse manure), multiple rock dusts, k-mag, alfalfa meal, soft rock phosphate and dry molasses. I have all the usual vegetable suspects planted into this.

My question is how much and how often do I apply fertilizer? I have organic alfalfa meal. Is alfalfa meal alone ok? One of my tomatos and one potato plant seem to be yellowing? Needs nitrogen? They're all transplants that I planted in 2 weeks ago. Although the bales were there for over a month.
