Given 8lbs of 8-8-8 per 100' of Row ? OK, I have raised beds 4' x 16' x 12" high, good horse poo/chips and a oak leaf mix, How much 8-8-8 fertilizer do I need for each bed? if 8lbs will do a 100' row, Should I consider the 4' wide beds as one row wide ?. Should it be two rows wide ? or even 1 1/2 row wide? The Raised bed is 4x16 = 32 Square Foot. Guilt Trip 1 row @ 4' wide x 16' = 16 sf.= 1 1/4lbs ? . 2 rows @ 2' wide 16 = 32lf = 2.1/2 lbs . 1 1/2 row = 24' = 1.9 or 2lbs ? for each raised bed. Thanks Guilt Trip Attachments:  |

I don't want to do all that math (lol), but if it were me, I would consider a row as being 2 ft. wide. That's about average for an in-ground garden. My opinion. |

sq.4' X 40' = 160 SF 4' X 32' = 128 SF 4' X 16' = 64 SF 4' X 12' = 48 SF 4' X 12' = 48 SF 4' X 8' = 32 SF 4' X 8' = 32 SF http://www.garden.org/foodguide/browse/veggie/toma toes_care/367 Talks about fertilizing tomatoes but can be applied to other crops.The best way is to get a soil test. |
