what types of fertilizers, insecticides and fungicides do you find most useful to you
    #21526582 -

Hey guys I'm going to a plant paradise tomorrow that has all different types of plants, ferts, and other additives to help your plants stay safe.

I was just wandering if anyone has any suggestions on types of ferts for maybe cactus like trichs, lophs, other globulars and columnurs , ferocactus etc.

also pesticides that you find most effective against some pest you've dealt with in the past and fungicides that you find to be very useful.


I also have some moringa trees, ganja, fruits like blueberries and black berries along with many other things.


I just want to see what is counted as useful and what NPK works best for cactus, moringa and ganja.


Any experience you've had with any product your welcome to post here and any info I get will be useful for me tomorrow:grin:

I've found that white oil mixed with water in a spray bottle is one of the best pest sprays around. Not sure if it would be labelled the same your side of the pond. I recently had a problem with lead roof miner on a lemon tree, a few squirts usually does the job with these and most pests, spray ever 2 weeks.
As for fertilisers it depends on soil PH, composition and what's going to be grown. Cactus love well drained soil, try and mimic the natural environment i.e nothing to fertile, dry etc.
I'm a big advocate for composting too get a heap going!
Cheers

I find the "recreational" market, for lack of a better word, way too expensive and very iffy in quality, so I buy my stuff from professional agricultural outlets. They are harder to come by (laws are strict and annoying on the sale of agrotoxics within the UE, for example) but you get the most from your money and the quality is usually great.

That said, neem oil (or its refined active principle, azadirachtin) seems to be an all-round weapon against a number of common pests, so it is probably best to have a bottle of it around. :smile:

I grew up with hippie folks. My mother used natural pesticides like: capcicum-oils (hot pepper / chili) and Nicotinia-tea spray Chrysanthimum /pyrethrum tea. . . and for fertilizer. Retted cattle manure water. or sometimes, depending on the plant.. fish bone meal, and bone meals. . but you have to make sure the ratio of meals to soil is correct, or you can burn the roots of your plants. I sometimes use orchid fertilizers in spray bottles for my babies after they have become established but not yet ready for soil-feeding. I never use any fertilizer in my germination containers. only water.

Happy gardening.

I'm very happy with Biobloom and Algamic for cacti (Biobizz), they are organic and they have certificates. Another good fertilizers are Batguano (High P low N for cacti) and worm casts.

Although there are clean mineral or chemical fertilizers, I don't want industrial waste from random fertilizers for my plants.

I like to use neem oil for pests.

For Ganja and trichs I've done 10-30-10 with good results.  You can get away with just about any npk numbers 5-1-1, 32-10-20, 10-52-10, 16-16-16, really whatever as long as you stay within the guidelines on the box.  If they say 5 tablespoons max per 5 gallons, that's what you do, and not 6 tablespoons (I've tried and it doesn't work well). 

It's hard to go wrong with worm castings, up to maybe 50% of soil composition, that's kind of pushing it, maybe 33% is a good place to stop.  I have a bunch of P. Torches (seedlings) in 50% worm castings, soggy soil all the time(never dries out), they love it.

Making a compost pit and waiting 6 months and planting right in the pit is awesome. 

clearing out a spot in a cow pasture is super awesome (the first year).

5-1-1 fish emulsion for ganja can work well.

Neem oil for pests

copper sulfate for mold

pyrethrum for aphids

smell the soil before you plant in it, if it smells sour or repulsive don't use it.
