New to succulents and need advice!

[Randy4ut]

I would like some input as to what and how to fertiilize my plants. I suppose I need to clarify a bit as to what I have and where I live... I live in Cleveland, TN, which is a borderline 7a/b. I installed my first "desert bed" this past spring and planted several different cacti, agave, nolina, dasyiliron.
Here is a link to a slideshow on the construction of my bed, along with a few of the plants I put out this past spring:

I also have quite a few other cacti/agave/etc. in pots.
Again, I would like to get some feedback as to what to fertilize my plants with and how much. I realize the ones planted out will probably be fertilized differently than the potted ones, so input about both would be greatly appreciated!
I do not plan on fertilizing til spring, but wanted to start getting information now.
Thanks so much for any advice anyone can give in advance.

Nice slideshow! I really like your desert garden, and the palm bed is good too.

I will be interested to hear what others say about fertilizer. I mixed Osmocote in the soil with my plants when I put them in a year or more ago, and I haven't worried about fertilizer since then. But the slow release stuff is probably gone now, and I need to find out what to do too!
