I read that for them to produce good fruits they need potassium. What do I use to boost potassium if need be? Eggplants that I started from seed. You cant see them but I planted left over green onions an they are coming up.

From their turn them into powder somehow and sprinkle a spoonful around the base of your plants being sure to water it into the ground really good:) Things are looking really good my friend! I can't believe how crazy the growth is in my garden this year! What kind of eggplants did you put in the ground?

Hi CD:) I heard to can just drop a few matches in around the roots of plants for the phosphorus. Ever hear of that?

I do remember my grandpa and uncle putting sulfur in the garden. When I was like 7 I asked why it smelled like a fart.

They were avid fisherman, they used to dig the unused parts fish into the gardens.
