I have a few boxes or org potatoes fertiliser, more than I need. I found them on sales and bought more boxes that needed.
I'm growing my vegetables in recyled containers. What other vegetables can I use the fertiliser on? .

The NPK ratios of potato fertiliser are very similar to those for rose fertiliser and are roughly 1:1:1.5. In reality, the ratios do not matter much, but leafy veg do use more N while roots take more P and flowers/fruit use more K. I'd use it as a general fertiliser but provide some extra Nitrogen for brassicas and other leafy veg. Don't bother fertilising carrots though as they don't need much of anything.
I think it would be fine for beans and peas.
