I have about 40 tropicals; I add a 1/4 teaspoon of fertilizer (depending on whether they are flowering or?) to the last watering. The flowering I use super bloom 12-55-6 and if they are Ficus or Buttonwoods I use Miracid 30-10-10. I feed them week days and on the weekend I use clear water. So I flush out any accumulated salts. They seem quite happy!

In my humble opinion I would shy away from garden soil.... It tends to clog. Go with what you have created and watch your trees carefully. They will tell you if they are unhappy. Just watch the color of the foliage..
