What does everyone put in their fertiliser baskets, if you use them?

I put my palletised fertiliser Sudden Impact etc.. in the baskets and the slow release on top of the soil.

I'm using Biogold Original pellets on my shohin and am getting good results. I purchased from Japan but I've seen it for sale online somewhere.
I also use liquid fertiliser fortnightly which is applied really simply using fertigate.

Thanks to you both. I have ordered some but they’ll be a couple of weeks arriving. I’ll check out both your suggestions
