Is this the only fertilizer I would need for my garden and fruit trees or will I need to add other minerals?

I use bio nectar hydroponic nutrients for my base minerals and supplement with sea-90. A base fertilizer with the essential macro nutrients is required(npk)

No, this the only fertilzer you need, but you can use other minerals if you like. I would add mushroom compost mix with ground carbon carcoal if you like.

You will need other fertilizer as well. This is just micro-nutrients. I use it instead of the kelp meal/azomite in this formula: http://www.motherearthnews.com/organic-gardening/complete-organic-fertilizer-zebz1309znsp.aspx?PageId=2#ArticleContent

I have successfully added this to previously potted plants. Just follow the directions on the package and add a very small amount of crystals to the top layer of soil.

Azomite adds minerals to the soil; for general house plants is best to divide the plant to evade overgrowth in the pot, transplant it, or if pot is big enough add more soil with nutrients along with some natural fertilizer,

I still trench and fertilize with very good results. The plants seem to take the fertilizer they need. I haven't over watered or over fertilized since I started using the Earthbox.

When you plant it, it gives you fertilizer and dolomite. I added some microriser Biotone to it too. No chemicals came out onto deck that I was aware of. Next season, I would use lime, biotone and some organic feritlizer by Espoma. I hope I answered your question?

some said fertilizing is a no-no---but I have found no matter what you do it takes a patient person & crossing your fingers to get them to bloom though you have rapid growth-----other thing some are saying is the use banana peels in soil to give them acid but as they grow wild in some parts of the world as a weed I think it is more keeping your fingers crossed--sorry I couldn't be more help if using fertilizer use on with hi potash-k & phosphorus-

This product is pointless with any non organic fertilizer! The main purpose of Rock Dust" is for a place microbes to attach, to help break down the soil and give plants more nutrients or specific things. If you are growing with non organic fertilizers this really is a waste of your money do to the fact that they kill most if not all of your microbes..

Yes, Id recommend adding 1/2tsp per gallon to the water first, then add your nutrients. Finally PH correct if needed as it tends to raise the PH a bit. My plants have stronger branches and tougher leaves after adding this to my hydroponic nutrients.

I don't think it would be necessary but if it is a mild mix, you "can". Myself, I'm not a fan of chemical fertilizers, at ALL... ever.

I think most people mix with soil, could be used either way.It does not add nutrients, it is to loosen soil and RETAINS WATER.

I don't know about the organic fertilizer or not but you don't get lemons the first yr anyway. Mine have survived their first winter inside and kept its leaves. Hopefully this year I may see lemons. I got blooms last yr but no lemons. I know most fruit trees it's 5 yrs. I have had Myers lemons before and they are sweeter. It was in good health when I got it.

Copper is all I use for my peach and apple trees. I use it wet in spray application.

This organic stuff goes a long way as an additive. I am extremely satisfied by this formula. In addition to Fox Farm Grow Big and Tiger Bloom which provide all the NPK nutrients, Big Bloom (which is of little nutrient value) has all the micro nutrients and beneficial compounds that help nutrient uptake and root health. It's almost impossible to 'burn' your plants with this stuff, but you definitely can with the other 2. I would start off at half strength and work up from there based on their provided feeding chart. Big Bloom and the other two, (with the addition of Cal-Mag) is all you need to grow amazing plants. I have never seen my tomatoes do so well. Just remember less is more with these concentrated nutrients. Additionally, if you are using this to increase the biodiversity of beneficial bacteria and fungi in your soil (all which are crucial for root health/nutrient uptake/faster growth) then make sure to use carbon filtered water to get the full benefit of Big Bloomthe chlorine in tap water wreaks havoc on that ecosystem.

Doing a quick google search, i came up with 6.3-6.8 which is optimum for nutrient uptake.http://foxfarmfertilizer.com/index.php/item/ocean-forest-potting-soil.html

earthbox is good stuff. however, it does not come with the needed soil, fertilizers, etc. I strongly recommend that you look at their products carefully and then review what you want to accomplish and where. do you need a staking kit? if you are growing tomatoes, you might - or provide your own. I have found the small bag (1.0 cu ft) of miraclegro fills one earthbox. you also need an eartthbox replanying kit - fertilizer, lime, all pre measured. is earthbox expensive. you bet. doers it produce worthwhile results. you bet. they tend to be out of staking kits, etc. it is better to order all of what you need for one growing season before you begin. it is an good use of space and can provide excellent grower-control of your plants. If you are truly serious about growing this is a good option - short of a raised bed system. growums' is another option. I have never used growums, but I would if I could find them...Lowe's has them sometimes, some locations.

Yes, this product is wonderful. Add any kind of fertilizer, stick in the roots of trees and turn on the water. My trees grew quickly. This is especially good for new trees but will work on established as well. I also used it for shrubs and roses. Best item I have ever purchased for the yard!

There are better fertilizers specifically for citrus. I always use a citrus fertiizer for citrus and Miracle Gro for flowers.
