It's that time of the year....Spring has finally arrived in the Northland.
I have been outside fertilizing my flowers, raspberries, garlic, asparagus..Most get a top dressing of compost and some chemical fertilizers.....then I look over at the grapes and wonder what they need.
So far I have never fertilized the grapes with anything other than compost...when I plant them I dig a big hole and fill it with compost...then top dress.
I will soon have access to tons of fertilizer as Jim brings spreaders and truck loads home to plant his crops...He will have loads of Urea [46-0-0] Potash [0-0-60] Map [11-52-0] For corn it will be a blend of 17-10-30 with added Zinc Sulfate and Magnesium or Manganese as well he uses NH3 Anhydrous Ammonia on the corn...but I can't use any of that.
Is any of that stuff good to sprinkle around the grapes???? Like maybe the corn blend 17-10-30?
