vegetable nutrients

[t.e.witt]

Is there a site that tells what nutrients veggies like in order to thrive? It would be nice if it told what they don't like also. Any links are appriciated. Thanks Terry

Different vegetable plants have different needs, this is why you can not plant certain things together in the same area. Are you asking for actual vegetables or are you including those that are actually fruit, but that people think of as vegetables? Most plants need some combination of potassium, nitrogen and magnesium. Your best best is to learn the specific needs of your individual plants - which means lots of links, but here are some that might start you off:

Your basic nutrients are NPK, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potash (potassium).
They each have their own area which they specifically help, so once you know what they are, think about the qualities of the herb/fruit/veg/plant you're trying to grow, and that will give you a strong indication of the balance required.

One thing I would say though, is that, in soil, you don't have the ability to screen out any nutrients which are there, and as such a balanced fertiliser like growmore or blood, fish & bone, is likely to give satisfactory results.
