No there are no other thing added. I used it on my Venus fly trap which is very sensitive to fertilizer and it did just fine.

The instructions are located on the side of the box. It will clarify which fertilizers to use during the seed/veg/flowering stage. Hope this helps and Happy growing.

Yes there is. It includes organic potting mix and organic fertilizer. You can also get the EarthBox without these, and buy your own potting mix and fertilizer (saves a lot on shipping costs), but check out the EarthBox Forum (at www.earthbox.com) for advice on the appropriate ingredients. The potting mix requires the proper moisture-wicking properties, provided by certain materials such as sphagnum peat moss and/or coconut fiber (coir), so you can't just grab any old bag of potting mix or potting soil off the shelf of your local nursery.

I suppose you could add what ever you want. I use it because it has no chemicals in it. It's pure.

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)

It needs to be mixed with it. Along with Epsom salts. Look up MHP gardener on YouTube. He gave me a lot of info on it. He has a video where he discusses the fertilizer in detail. Hope this helps.

No, you cannot add anything except water. I would not buy this brand though. 2 failed machines and terrible customer service!!!!!

You shouldnt need any additional fertilizer for a long time but depending on your tank size I would suggest a co2 maker. The cheaper co2 makers are just as good as the expensive ones, just depends on how much maintenance you want to do. I hope this is helpful.

Some do come with the fertilizer and it will state it in the description. It does not come with soil. I'd buy the fertilizer separately. They are the best growing pots...you'll be happy.

No. You can add it as often as you feel necessary, but most importantly is to ensure proper distribution. (It is an inoculant, not a chemical, so the mixing and proper conditions for our good guys to thrive is more important than daily addition.)

My husband and I have a small garden and we live in Kentucky. We wanted to try our hand at organic gardening. We mix sand, peat, compost, azomite, lignite (brown coal) and bone meal. I would normally use dolomite instead of bone meal in the fields but the secret to success in organic gardening is bringing about "cation" without fertilizers, per se. The active ingredient and catalyst in our garden is the lignite. We have had unbelievable success and I would recommend studying up on soil amendments on this site. (http://www.soilminerals.com/Cation_Exchange_Simplified.htm) and its very informative.

No, this does not come with fertilizer. You would have to order those separately. Also, a word of warning, if you have hard or rocky soil, you may want to check some other options for watering. This unit does not hold up well in hard soils.

I used this highly recommended product as my only fertilizer and it is working very well. Shortly after I began using it, the leaves "perked right up". I should mention, I am growing my first Orchid. I wish you much success!

Hi There-No there is no added iron. You would have to take a supplement if you need to add more iron to your diet.

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.
