Organic Fertilizer Question

I got some free stuff from a local hydroponic shop. The problem is that I am not sure on how to use it or if its even applicable to paphs or orchids in general. I'm asking for your opinions.

Is there a listing of what's in it?

I like guano, kelp extract and kelp meal, fish emulsion, fish meal and fish bone meal. I also like to use granular calcium product like cichlids sand or granular bone meal. Humic and fulvic acids are great additions.

Just to add.... All these "fertilizers" are K-Lite too. If you want to add alittle K then you can add sulfate of potash as a foliar spray.

 

[eggshells]

No thats about it. Its seems like source of N is veggie protein, P is bat guano and K is kelp.

I found this website though http://www.dirtngrow.com/lawn--garden-products.html

 

[keithrs]

Use it.... If you like it then try Earth Juice. EJ is a company that make hydro organic fertilizers.

Or make your own...

I like the idea that N,P,K are all separate. This would be good for my research students doing projects based on plant nutrition.

 

[keithrs]

Are Canadas NPK ratios calutated the same way they are here?

 

[Erythrone]

Yes, keithrs

 

[keithrs]

If that the case.... I have never seen bat guano that had no N in it.

 

[eggshells]

If that the case.... I have never seen bat guano that had no N in it.

That was I was thinking as well. Should have some N in a form of urea.

Same for me! The bat guano I buy in Canada had N....(Acadie- Bat guano 12-2-2).

About Evolve Organic Bloom Enhancer Plant Fertilizer :It is written that "This product is derived from pure bat guano and citric acid." I guess nitrogen is removed or lost in the process

 

[keithrs]

Maybe because it's in a 'tea' form.

................." no bats were harmed in making this product".............

 

[cnycharles]

There must be some mistake; if they go to the trouble of collecting organic bat poop, they wouldn't remove the nitrogen. I think they are making a marketing statement that the bat one has phosphorus in it, or else whoever made the label knows nothing about fertilizer!

the citric acid would just be to lower the pH of the 'stuff', or maybe make it a bit more available in water (or stable in the bottle). usually citric acid is used as a 'gentle' way of lowering fertilizer pH

 

[keithrs]

Theres different types of bat guanos..... My guess is that they are using Indonesian guano that has a NPK of .5-13-.2 in dry form. When turned into a tea you would get a very weak diluted down version to where N/K are low enough that they can call it a 0 N/K product but it my have .06 N in it.
