What Type Of Fertilizer Should I Use (or Is Safe) For Indoor Plants That I Will Be Consuming?
I was just wondering if people use different types of fertilizer when they plan on consuming a plant that they are growing. Are there any unsafe fertilizers? What about that pre-fertilized potting mix?
I'm growing catnip and lemon balm.

Any type of fertilizer as long as it is not a combination product should be safe to eat. A combination product is where the fertilizer is attached to or mixed with some sort of pesticide. A lot of your lawn fertilizers will have a broad leaf herbicide or insecticide for example. But any straight fertilizer would be fine. If it is natural or chemical it is still the same basic elements that make them up (N) Nitrogen, (P) Phosphorous, (K) Potassium. Some fertilizers will also include some micro nuitrients as well, but none of which would be harmful to you to injest afterthe plant brings them up into itself.
