| K-Lite MSU Fertilizer - the article by the inventor, or developer of
this excellent improvement on the already great MSU Formulas. Rich
Lochwood did the science, a good read that explains better than I the
why for using lower K in your continuous feeding program. 2013 |
"What do Orchids
Eat" by Richard Lockwood. 2013 |
| Bill Argo wrote a very thorough article detailing the science behind
the MSU series of fertilizer formulae. Definitely an educational read if
you are trying to get your head around fertilizer. The article is in 5
parts. 2003 |
Part
1 Understanding plant nutrition, Part
2. Water Quality,

Part 4 Substrates,

| Walter Pall is a world class bonsai artist and has been exhibiting
trees, very healthy & beautiful trees for several decades. He knows how
to grow a healthy tree. His fertilizer methods at first glance seem to
contradict information I linked here on MSU and Continuous Feeding. But
if you look close at his system, you can see how he compensates for the
shortcomings of the fertilizer he uses. |
