A mix of 4-6-4 of fertilizer is ideal for gardening. The figure 4-6-4 indicates the quantity of the three main minerals that are blended i.e. 4 % nitrogen, 6 % phosphorus and 4 % potassium.

You could also save rain water in the wet season, and use it during the dry season. Rain has nitrogen in it, so it is perfect for greening up lettuces, kale and other greens, and leafy herbs. Poor man's fertilizer!

That would be a fine all around mix. Corn is a heavy nitrogen feeder though. You will want to give it extra N.Originally Posted by beasuccessfulgardener
I buy urea (46% N) and 6-24-24 and blend my own mixes. For corn, I till in fertilizer before planting, side dress with urea at 3 or 4 inches and again when tassels start to show.
