I'm with Veggie in the "feed the soil" camp. I mostly only use specific feeds on container-grown plants, because the limited amount of compost means that nutrients get used up more quickly. For those, I generally use organic seaweed-based feeds, including a higher potash one for tomatoes, etc.
My new raised beds all have a thick layer of fresh compost at the moment, but I'll be mulching them with home-made compost and worm compost next year. I generally have small patches of different veggies growing alongside one another, so the idea of feeding individual plants would be pretty pointless anyway.

How much veg and wildlife can I pack into a 6m x 8m garden in suburban Cambridge? Let’s find out!
