Sorry if you've posted this before, but what are your best growing crops? What have you tried to grow that didn't work out?

Does anyone know where I can buy quality plant fertilizers (NPK) in PP? Imports from the west preferably unless you can recommend otherwise.

In a SNV plant shop they were trying to sell me what looked like a bag of stones imported from Vietnam. Not really sure what they were but must have been slow release, over about a million years as they were made of stone.
I have a book, written in Khmer, but produced in Vietnam by a Vietnam company that makes and sells all types of fertilizers. NPK plus everything else in various mixes like dolomite bla, bla, bla.. It's in my other house in PP so next week I will copy it and give you a copy if you want it. It's handy to have when you go into a plant shop , but most of the time they don't know anything and don't have what you want anyway.

Here is their web site.

Thanks for that. It gives me a lead at least. What's the best instant organic source for improving nitrogen content anyone? Is it true that piss will do? If so what dilution. I did try it once but it smelt pretty bad afetr a while

jsp, piss will do it, but what is the recommended dilution is the big question. Piss under your lemon tree and your lemon tree will love your forever. Piss into the pot plants on your balcony might be stretching it a bit.

Have you tried guano?

Guano is excellent stuff, but where do I get it in PP?

I know they used to sell it in the plant section at the front of Psar Thmei. I would imagine that most of the plant selling places would have it.

Rutiger asked, "ry if you've posted this before, but what are your best growing crops? What have you tried to grow that didn't work out?"

Actually I didn't post this for fear of being deluged with advice which I really don't need.
I grow almost completely native vegetables now.
I have had mixed results with foreign seeds mainly because the nitrogen content of the soil is too high and requires amendments. Secondly, the local insects seem to love them whereas natives survive by possessing a natural immunity. Another reason is that.my Cambodian wife does most of the cooking and thus has more need of local plants. Beans are the exception; I have had great success with many foreign varieties. In any case a soil ph testing kit is a must have.

Chicken shit,,, but much too strong to put directly on the plants as it will burn the roots. The plant shops sell small bags of dried ,,, looks like pigeon or bat droppings which I have used by putting on the top layer of soil and it slowly gets washed into the soil.

Irrelevant and incorrect advice. More fodder for my compost.
