MUDRUNNER Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 I'm getting my stuff organized for my first real food plot.I'm planting about 3/4 of an acre in dwarf essex rape,turnips, and austrian winter peas.It looks like I need 13-13-13 fertilizer,but all I can find locally is 12-12-12, which sounds close enough to me.Is that a big deal or will it be fine to use.Forgive my ignorance,but I'm kinda learning as I go.Thanks for any feedback.

dogdoc Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 triple 12 will do just fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 12-12-12 is just 1% less in analysis of N.P.K. Like Todd said, it's fine. Depending on the size of your plot, you may have to buy a bag or two extra if your plot is over like 5 acres or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntinguide Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 round here farmers use 13 x3 but 12 x3 is about the same, i bet the plants wont even tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 The triple 12 will work just fine. Here is a link to a fertilizer calculator http://www.tulsamastergardeners.org/blackbox/fertcalc.htm that is pretty helpful if you have results from a soil test, will tell you exactly how much you need.
