Use a liquid feed that will wash into the soil and not a graual type .Or better still use piggie poo.

I water liquid food into the soil not onto the plant and wash the veg before feeding.
I also dig in loads of piggy poo/compost before planting and sprinkle piggy poo several times a week during growing season.

It's worth looking for one specifically for fruit and veg as not only does it need to be safe for piggies but also for human consumption.

Forgot to say, as @Lady Kelly says I use a tomato feed for everything!
Google for organic plant food? It am sure that there is something!
Unlike pesticides, plant food consists basically of chemical compounts that the plants need to grow. What varies is production methods.
Tomato feed works with any veg or plants that you want the flowers/fruit.
Apart from cabbage the other veg is struggling!

every thing here was is a bit late due to the weather extremes. My runner beans have a distinct lean after last weeks gales. I gave up on cabbage after last years total crop loss, we have too many slugs, snails and cabbage white butterflies.

You make up the main batch in a bucket, then pop some of it into a watering can and then add water (as per the instructions) and water the ground with it a few weeks before planting. Nematodes are tiny microscopic wormy things that eat slugs.
