[Twynyrodyn]

What sort, where, when, how? An idiot's guide please.

Could you be a little more vague please

fertilizers - help thing grow
Greenhouse - Wonderful and you need as large a one as you can fit in
Vegetable Plots - An area where you grow vegetables

Ask a specific question get specific answers

I think he means - what fertiliser do you use on your greenhouse beds and your vedg beds.

So I'm a grow more plus manure (any type I can get) man.

This year I'm probably going to use more grow bags in the poly tunnel and then dump the used soil into the beds for next year with some good manure.

I'm working on bokkachi and worm composting so plan to use the fluid from that as a feed, with tomato feed on the toms and other things that suggest it.

Ummm in that case Horse Muck in the winter in certain beds as some vegetables don't like freshly manure beds and others love it, compost in the Spring, coffee grounds and comfrey tea on the beds. No Chicken pellets as it drives the foxes wild and they dig everything up and destroy the beds.

Greenhouse Comfrey and compost tea.

The ground that you grow in, irrespective of whether it's outdoors or undercover is going to become depleted in nutrients and minerals.
I use manure both on the outdoor beds and within the polytunnel primarily to improve the quality of the soil however it could also be regarded as a fertiliser as it is adding nutrients to the soil such as nitrogen.
Fertilisers (is fertilizer American English?) feed the soil, I tend to use Blood, Fish and Bone as a general fertiliser again both outside and undercover. I will supplement specific crops with additional feed as required for instance tomato feed for fruiting veg- this could be something purchased from a shop or home made from comfrey or nettles etc.

You can tailor a specific feed to a specific crop if you notice that there is a problem, an example is magnesium deficiency.

There will be several factors that influence how you manage the fertility of your soil, not least is whether you consider the use of chemical control versus an organic approach important.

I have homemade compost for outside for roots
Manure(not horse)in greenhouse and in the raised beds
Blood fish and bone everywhere(including pots)
Tomorite for greenhouse and containers.

Same as Burnie basically.

I dig chicken manure pellets into my beds at this time of year (inside and out) except the roots one, which gets a top dressing of home made compost instead. I also top dress all beds with blood fish and bone fertiliser a week or two before planting time. Brassica beds get a good mulch of spent mushroom compost just before the plants go in. Polytunnel beds get a trench dug out and replaced with commercial farmyard manure for the tomatoes. After feeding is with nettle/comfrey tea, toms get a weekly commercial tomato feed while they're fruiting.
