I really want to change my fertilizing system to a dry fert one due to im fed up of going through bottles of branded fertilizers. But the problem is Im very confused and have no idea where to start. I have read the UKAPS EI article and still am lost. I am also a member of an american plant forum and have asked alot there too, yet still lost! The thing is with american advise is that its different here due to different measuring systems and differing product availability in the US and UK.
So what do I know? Well I know that I will need to weigh and make up my own dry fert concoctions. Thats it. I dont know what to use, how much of it to use and when! So please help me. For your help ive put bellow the current tank I would use the EI system on. Thanks for your help and please, keep it simple!
