I've started something new this year... tables with a rim around them covered in pond liner, which, of course, comes up to the top of the rim. Then I just put some soluble fertilizer on the table (I've been using fish fert but one could just as well use a synthetic fertilizer) and fill the tabletop with water from the hose, making sure to spray the spot where I placed the fertilizer so it gets thoroughly mixed. So far so good... when using water soluble fertilizer I've always had much better results by soaking the plants rather than just applying it from the top. As long as the plants aren't already soaked, the pots soak it all up.
