Erynne, good link there! This is a good discussion.

I would bet that bottom watering would help my situation of burning the leaves! I used a turkey baster after I burned the leaves, which worked way better. I have been using a 10-52-10 transplant fertilizer, meant to promote root growth, maybe it's harsher? The reason I haven't been bottom watering up until now is because I read that the roots grow better in a drier soil. If you bottom water, you would have to keep the medium wet all the time so that the wicking action would continue. I must try the other side of the coin, though, so I can say one way or the other.

Hey, Linda, I read somewhere that the seaweed fertilizer smells strongly. Do you find this?

My turkey baster (no, seriously!) Yuk-yuk
