    Typically, this crop will not need fertilizing, and should you see issues, then I would be inclined to believe that it is actually a pH issue in the soil. Apply dolomitic lime to the area to fix this. If you feel that you still want to use fertilizer, then a well balanced, all-purpose fertilizer will be just fine.

    High Nitrogen chemical fertilizers often create excessive vegetative growth at the expense of flowering.
    You don't state what kind of plant or the growing conditions, indoor potted plant or outdoor in the ground, but general information I could offer would be to use a slow release, complete organic fertilizer like this:

    I will definitely agree for the novice gardener. For setting up advanced soil ecology, I find myself using this as a primer for my good microbes, as they attached very easily to the course grains of the grounds. Just as easily as the good microbes attach, so do the bad. If you are going to attempt to use anything that is not fully composted you will always run the risk of getting something bad into your soil.

    For the novice gardener, I would always recommend pre-packaged soil, as these people have already went through the trouble of mixing a soil to reach its potential. I, myself, have a mixture that I would never advise someone just starting out to try as their first mixture, as often times it will lead to an over nutrient rich soil with a really really low pH without letting it cure properly.

    We do not sell products from this web site. I would suggest checking with local garden centers in your area.

    There is no simple answer to your question. Please provide more information on the context. Are you asking about absorption of Phosphorus from fertilizer in the soil? What do you want to achieve?

    It depends on the source and form of the Phosphorus that is available, and the presence of soil organic matter and fungal relationships with the roots that increase absorptive capabilities.
