I want to do organics so bad. I have the fox farm liquid nute trio and marine cuisine dry fertilizer. It has been raining so much so I have had to rely on the dry fertilizers i have in the soil. Bad news for me, I go out to my plants yesterday and animals had dug up 3 of the 6 for the dried fish, crab, and shrimp stuff in the marine cuisine.

I have one more plant inside that im going to be transplanting eventually, but I don't know what to do. SHould I use only the liquid fertilizers and deal with the plants not having nutrients when it rains? Do I use organic dry fertilizers that stink and try to deter animals from getting into the holes? Or do I use nasty chemical dry fertilizers and use the fox farm trio so that i am safe from animals??:-?:-?:-|:cry:

More sad news, only one of the Fox Farms trio is organic, so if using them is your plan it doesn't matter what grow medium you use, your grow won't be organic. Salt deposits from two of your nutrient trio will kill the majority of microbe life in your grow medium, including organic fertilizer benefits other than nitrogen. I use 25% decomposed cow manure in my grow medium. Nothing that attracts destructive animal foragers and it is organic.

If a liquid/soluble nutrient feeding schedule is what you want to do, the list of heavily marketed organic nutrients is seemingly endless.

Sorry to hear bro, that sucks. I cant believe they dug it up for the solid nutrients what a bunch of asshole animals. I would suggest you use a liquid and look up different organic repellents like mixing up a bunch of spicy peppers and other hot things and spraying around the plants.
