Water soluble versus non-water soluble

Hi,

I am planning to make an earthtainer but what I read is that I shouldn't use water soluble fertilizer. I am at loss here because am not sure what is non water-soluble fertilizer. Here we have very limited fertilizers and what I use in my garden is regular fertilizer like used in farms which you can dissolve in water or just spread and water the plant. Any help is appreciated

RE: Water soluble versus non-water soluble

Read the instructions. Most of the water soluble ones say to mix with water. Most of the non water soluble ones say stuff like "add 1 Tb to the root ball area when transplanting or shake n feed"

The slow release stuff is also most likely to be what you are looking for.
