Sourese from https://gardeningsolutions.ifas.ufl.edu/care/fertilizer/types-of-fertilizer.html
There are many types of fertilizer
Organic inorganic
Compost teas
Slow- and Controlled-Release Fertilizers
Slow- and controlled-release fertilizers provide nutrients to plant roots over an extended period of time
Dry Fertilizer
Water-soluble Fertilizer. To name a few
Note Always follow the directions period end of story
Inorganic Fertilizers
Inorganic fertilizers are materials that are mined or synthesized from non-living materials. Many inorganic fertilizers contain nutrients that are immediately available to plants. Others are formulated to allow nutrients to be released over a period of time. If you use an inorganic fertilizer in your landscape, choose one with some or all of the nutrients in slow- or controlled-release form, so that the plants will be able to take up the fertilizer as it is gradually released.
Organic Fertilizers
Organic fertilizers are materials that are derived from plants and animals; one of the most common forms is manure. Organic matter incorporated into the soil before planting will help fertilize your vegetable plants, but you'll need to add additional fertilizer after planting. Composted animal manures used in place of inorganic fertilizer are best applied as a side dressing—this means they're placed next to rows.
The quick availability of nutrients, especially nitrogen, is very important in vegetable growing. Therefore, you may want to supplement any organic fertilizer you apply with some inorganic fertilizer for quick feeding If you soil is lacking in nitrogen . Many gardeners use a combination of fertilizers and techniques in the garden.
Gardeners who wish to avoid chemical fertilizers can also use fish emulsions or manure teas. Fish emulsion, which is usually high in nitrogen but low in phosphorus, is mixed with water and sprinkled around plants every two to three weeks, or as needed.
Good to to talk about the 3 numbers on the bag 1st number Nitrogen 2nd number phoperus (also can be referred as potash) 3rd number potassium
Manure tea is made by seeping manure in a barrel or tub of water. Place several shovelfuls of manure in a porous cloth sack, then soak the sack of manure in the water until the water becomes the color of weak tea.
Weed tea also can be make
Dry Fertilizer
Dry fertilizer can be applied in many ways. Scatter it over the entire garden, down a row, or ring individual plants. You can broadcast dry fertilizer
Water-soluble Fertilizer
Water-soluble fertilizers are often useful as a quick boost fo(continued)
