    Can someone tell me the easiest way to feed the vegetables growing in my greenhouse ie Tomatoes.Chillies,Cucumbers and Peppers etc.At present I use a liquid fertiliser every couple of weeks but is it easier to use the fertiliser pellet's and if so how often do you use them.Too late for this season now but would like to know for next season.

    If you have them in gro-bags or containers then I'd use a liquid feed such as Tomorite once a week.

    I plant mine direct in the soil and put in a load of home made compost, that should be enough but if they look a bit light green I give them a boost with liquid feed.

      You can get slow release fertilizer pellets which I think are really aimed at things like flower containers, might be worth trying next year
