I have been searching for past topics regarding this, but was unable to come up with anything. Forgive me if this has been discussed before, but I was just wondering if anyone fertiizes/nutes during or around rainstorms?
We have been having quite a bit of moisture and rain here in the midwest lately and I am not having to water my plants very often (which is a good thing), however, I haven't been feeding them as much as I would like. I have been rotating a CalMag/Fish Emulsion mix one week and vermicompost tea mix the next, but due to the rain my schedules have been getting mixed up.
I thought I've read it somewhere before, but are there pros/cons to adding nutes during periods of rain? Will they mostly get washed away or will there still be added benefit? Im sure there are a lot of determining factors like how much rain and how often, but it just seems like we are getting rain at least once a week and sometimes 2-3 days out of the week. Dont want to overwater, but also want to make sure I can get them that extra boost.
Any advice/input/knowledge is greatly appreciated!
Thanks
