Hello - does anyone use Romeo fertilizer? I bought it from Four Winds. It is 24-14-14. Do you think this is a superior/inferior fertilizer to MirAcid which is 30-10-10? I have that one also. W/all my plants, I like to constant feed. Should I do 1/4 tsp per gallon? Also, it carries a warning about children & pets on it. What is that about? Thanks!

Most all fertilizers have warning notices, I would not concern myself. I can only speak for myself, but I would not use a 24-14-14 as my regular fertilizer on CONTAINERIZED citrus. Citrus take up fertilizer nutrients from the growing medium in the ratio of 5-1-3. The 24-14-14 is very high phosphorous content. For a tree growing outdoors in the ground it would probably not be a big deal, as many citrus groves use a 1-1-1 ratio. - Millet
