Hey, I have some foliar fertiliser spray I don’t need and I was going to give it away to a friend-slash-support worker for her kid’s vegie garden.
However apparently it can burn leaves if left on in hot weather and I think someone mentioned it was high in some chemicals/heavy metals?
He’s growing capsicum, strawberries and cherry tomatoes in a container garden.
Is foliar spray safe enough to use on edible plants and user friendly enough for a kid or should I just bin it?
(If it was me I’d just use Osmocote granules or pre-fertilised potting mix made for fruit and veg, but I currently use Powerfeed liquid.)
Should be all good. Should say on it but just tell kiddo to spray on the underside of leaves if it's sunny :)
Thanks. I’ll offer it and let them decide if they want something easier so they don’t need to remember anything special
