What plant foods do you use and have you had good, medium or poor results?
Do you make your own? have a favourite brand? or do you use a combination of different ones?
As I try to be as organic as possible I make my own concoctions from collected seaweed, comfrey, nettles and horse manure mostly🧙🏻♂️

Miracle Grow for cucumbers/courgettes
Miracle Grow Azalea feed on blueberries
and seaweed extract on just about everything.
I generally spread about 1 ton of manure (and my home-made compost) on beds and borders, so plants don't really need anything extra

My soil is quite good, but lacks organic matter in one part of the garden. I had 25ton topsoil to make raised beds etc a couple of years ago. It was good soil, but being just silt (from washing sugar beet) it was devoid of life so needs lots of organic matter - I'm getting there.
I have 3 x 1cu metre compost bins, which make good stuff, so I hope to be self-sufficient in a couple of years.

I have just reminded myself of Rambling Sid Rumpo. For the under-60's, Sid was a character voiced by Kenneth Williams on the BBC radio comedy "Round the Horne". No matter what question was put to Sid, he always began his answer, in a yokel accent: "Well, Oi think the aarnswer lois in the soil."
My parents used to giggle away at that show, I had no idea what they were giggling about.
I did buy the series on cassette many years ago - classic!
