That’s not mine, but it shows you can grow in pure peat moss.
I supplement Holly-Tone with ammonium sulfate. Use once a week till plants picks up. If I need to help plant. Otherwise I use it once a month. It also acidifies soil. You must water first, you can kill the plant with this stuff. Use 1 teaspoon per 2.5 gallons. Fruitnut once mentioned for in ground he uses 1 tbsp in 5 gallons. So I’m using less. I burned a plant once! Only use AS if your soil is not naturally acidic. If soil is naturally acidic, urea is better.
Since I use organics, I only give the plant AS once a month, April (if not dormant) through August.
I’m trying to get away from doing this, but I still have some, so I’m using it. Other plants like it too. I was going to try seaweed once a month, and you could increase amount of Holly-Tone. Next year I’ll try the seaweed. I will be out after this year. If I’m not happy I will go back to it. It’s nice to keep things acidic, works well even if soil is very basic.
