Liquid Feeding

[Apoplast]

My curiosity was aroused by a detailed reply from Brian Barnes on a thread he started sharing pictures of his D. schizandra icps.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=drosera&action=display&thread=4465. He explained he feeds (I'm paraphrasing here) with a bloodworm soup using an eye dropper. I have also heard fish emulsion fertilizer made at 0.5 strength works well applied to Drosera leaves or into pitchers.

All of this has got me curious about what options are available for these seemingly convenient liquid feeding sources. They appear easier to control than spraying foliar fertilizer, and perhaps safer as they come from natural protein sources. So, if you have a favorite liquid feeding mix and/or technique please share (open to all groups of CP's). Specifics for recipes or application are always appreciated. Thanks all!

Thanks! I attempted a search, clearly I was not successful. Sorry about the needless thread.

Bob - I looked into the articles. They were interesting, but not quite what I was thinking of. I'm less interested in synthetic fertilizers such as folier or soil fertilizers. They appear to be entirely functional, but I'd like something that allows my plants to utilize their digestive enzymes (or those of their mutualists).

I'm hoping to get people to share their favorite recipes and feeding techniques for natural protein source fertilizers (e.g. the 'bloodworm soup', or the proper use of fish emulsion, etc.) Perhaps those are the only two out there, I'm not sure, but it would great to hear from others who have experienced success with these types of fertilizers to feed their pets.
