Best spray fertilizer?
PDXIan:
What do you think is the best foliar spray fertilizer? Are there citrus specific ones? Have you tried Neptune fish fertilizer? all of my berries love it, but I haven't used it on citrus.
brian:
I use Peters/Jacks High Performance 25-5-15 granular mixed with water and a surfactant. I have never tried anything else so I don't have any other suggestions. This particular fertilizer only seems to be available in 25lb bags so this might not be very helpful to you.
sea4:
it should be noted that Millet recommends a 1/10 dilution rate for foliar ferts, iirc.

Myth of foliar feeding: https://s3.wp.wsu.edu/uploads/sites/403/2015/03/foliar-feeding.pdf
brian:
Vlad I've read that PDF before... I think the title is misleading. Even its own conclusions don't suggest that foliar feeding is a myth, only that it isn't intended to be the primary means of fertilization, which I don't think anyone was even suggesting. Assuming foliar fert does what is claimed (which this PDF agrees it does) it seems to be a fine method to address specific nutrient deficiencies in the short term.
