plant nutrition...

Okay, bear in mind its my first season of growing things, so sorry if these are silly questions.

My plants get the old aquarium water once or twice each week. I also give my plants an organic fertilizer. My questions are, do any of the plants I grow not need the fertilizer? About how often should I give it? I'd read so many different things and I can't keep up with 9 different watering schedules. Also, some of the plants are only seedlings. Should any of the seedlings get the fertilizer?

I'm growing chives, dill, leek, oregano, parsley, thyme, tomato, spinach and swede in containers.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi,
Some of your plants are Mediterranean & thrive on dry/sun/poor feeding. (Oregano/Thyme).
The others, will grow away in a good base compost with a liquid feed during the growing season.
I would be interested with your results aka swedes though!!

Thanks for the reply.

So does that mean the oregano and thyme shouldn't get the old aquarium water either?

They don't need it. Seedlings don't need fertiliser until they've exhausted the soil they've been potted on to, either.
