Fertilizer - What, When, Why, And How Often
From what I have gathered so far, this is a conflicting topic. So I am sorry if I am starting a battle of the wits, but the doody must be on top of things. In the last few month I have come up with a plan for fertilizing my trees. I forget what was the reason I came about this plan, but it had something to do with what a tree needs in what season. Here's my plan SPRING MiracleGro 20-20-20 / SUMMER MiracleGro 20-20-20 / FALL Fish emulsion 5-1-1 WINTER something organic at 0-10-10 (any suggestions). Spring, summer, and fall would be fed every two weeks, but in winter only once a month.
Well, I just read this post at the gardenweb and it kind of tells me that my plan is useless. Here is the post. It makes sence to me, but let me know what you think.

I think there's a lot of good old bonsai myth involved in fertilising - maybe more than anything else.
