    If this is a new garden you may not need any nutrient's. But if you want to assure good growth, for general garden purposes...... I would recommend Miracle Grow spray feeder....which is made by Scotts.

    Low cost may not be the best choice.

    Chemical fertilizers DO work well and are cheap BUT, they are made from petroleum products.

    One of the best fertilizers is worm castings, and leaf mold.

    Unless you have your soil tested, you are just guessing.

    A soil test can best tell you if you need anything and perhaps what to do about any deficiencies.
