10-15-10 +TE is an inorganic source of trace elements.
10-10-10 or 15-15-15 is a balanced, all-around fertilizer.
Spraying Fastac if you don't have any insects may not be beneficial.
High phosphorous may help the tomatoes. Not so much with your leafy tomatoes.
Use a high nitrogen inorganic to amend the soil. Plant. Add a balanced fertilizer at interval. Spray insecticide as needed. Mix them if you need to spray at the same time.
Use the kelp if you are switching to organic and leave out the insecticide.
If it is a walk behind maybe you can look into bringing one in for yourself these companies ask for too much money. It should not have any issue as far as I can see it can ship via sea from the states, a Honda or BCS or something and you just pay duties and vat. Anyone know if there is special regulation to follow?snsauto wrote:I have contacted ft farfan asking for prices over and over so we can make decisions and plan but they just keep telling me to come in. I don't want to go all the way there to just get a price. At this stage we are in the land from sunrise to sunset. I genuinely don't have the time during the day. I expected in this day and age with technology they can atleast tell you the models they stock and prices so you can do some research and reviews online.

Personally used a Honda prior and was really good, only had it lock up once when it stayed tilted badly for a good while but was a simple fix. BCS is a popular brand in north america. It have some people down rousillac/ LA brea side where they sell the pepper sauce on the hill and thing have a Honda for sale with tiller attachment used but definitely less than 100k

is the land has alot of stones u will eat thru the blades fairly quickly and it around $1000 for a full set
That sounds like too much fertilizer to me.d.d.s. wrote:Guys, all the tips of my shadow beni turning brown and drying up. Any ideas or remedies?

1 inch main supplies with a 3/4" tap are more common at about 60 to 80 psi.
You could also add 1/8" PET tubing from the existing 1/2" supply and use drip irrigation at each plant with no sprinkler heads and low pressure from an elevated holding tank.

Thanks bro. With the 1/2 supply we were hoping that if we ran multiple valves and did section by section the pressure would suffice.
With regard to the drip system. Can you tell me where I can get the tubing and some more advice on it?

Peake's carries drip system components but I believe that they are the Rainbird brand. You can buy polyethylene tubing and barbed fittings at most plumbing stores. It isn't difficult to make your own for not much more that the cost of the hose.snsauto wrote:adnj wrote:If you are irrigating a large area and you are using tripod mounts for your sprinklers, you will very likely need larger than a 1/2" supply line.
