Hi all,
Can I get some advice on how to use Osmocote?
I have read about the dangers of it leaching ammonia into the water column, so I am a little scared of this.
Will be using Aquasoil with EI ferts.
My current knowledge is:
For most plants, 1 pellet per plant? bury atleast 1 inch deep?
For carpets, should I bury 1 pellet per square inch? bury atleast 1 inch deep?
Another idea I have is to use it on root feeders only to minimize leaching of ammonia to the water column, so for example on plants like alternanthera reinecki.
Bury 2-3 pellets under each root feeding plant? bury atleast 1 inch deep?
I think its easy to identify the root feeders, because when the ammoniacal nitrogen in the aquasoil runs out, the root feeders begin to do poorly.
Thanks!
