Potting soil like Miracle grow has everything for 6 months but I like to add soluble Miracle grow fertilizer once a week. I believe they recommend it. It can be confusing at first. Stick with it. If you can get a PhD you can learn gardening. Sometimes not enough nitrogen is the problem. My barley wasn’t going to seed and I realized I had quit fertilizing over the winter and we had been out of town and what not. I hit it once with the Miracle Grow fertilizer and in days it was putting out nice heads of barley seed. I had just gotten lazy over the winter. Your beans will produce, I am certain.
“I like to add soluble Miracle grow fertilizer once a week.”
Thank you for this post. I was wondering what to add to potting soil after that six months. I was going to have to look for what needed to be added to keep feeding the plants. I’ll use soluble Miracle Gro. You just saved me having to look for something. The problem with the beans, is, they are in the ground with no added fertilizer. I suppose there is no way to add fertilizer on the top of the dirt and it filters down to the roots?
