(1/9) > >>

wonderfruit:
Please i will like to start using slow release fertilizer to use in 2 gallon container. Can anybody recommend  me a good product and where to buy it. Thanks

Seanny:
I use Osmocote Plus. $15 for 8 lb from Amazon.

andrewq:
osmocote plus. go buy it on amazon now. the usual price is $20-25

pineislander:
You might want to compare Osmocote Plus with Nutricote Total. They seem similar polymer coated but I see Nutricote specifies "slow release by temperature" while Osmocote doesn't. I've found the Nutricote works wonderfully on containerized annuals, even directly below seeds so little chance of sensitivity. Compare prices including shipping if needed.

University test appears to show a higher release with Nutricote vs Osmocote:
