I saw a all purpose vigoro fetilizer at my local store but has no trace elements. Does it make a big difference without the trace elements. Or can I buy something to supplement the trace elements.

I found that you can buy a trace element pack that farmers use on cotton. It contains zinc and the other stuff in citrus fertilizer. The problem is it's only sold in large quantities and was rather expensive 50-$75. It's cheaper for me to buy the citrus fertilizer.

In Florida, we can get micronutrient spray solutions at any Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. But depending on your soil, you may not need them. Some soils are naturally rich in trace elements. If you have high pH soils, one advantage of the sprays is that they enter the plants easily through the leaves, where they might not get into the roots, via an alkaline soil.
