Paul... MMMM Gee..I'm not sure.. I did have one from Donna B but she said it was a small white... this seems a good bit bigger than small to me.. I'll have to send her a picture of it.. I got others... but I'm not sure which gift it was from.. I've another in the same boat.. got any thought....
Jana.. oh...I'm sorry.. we'll have to start a thread of it's own.. for that question... you might also bring a lunch.. all this might seem excessive.. and I'd be the first to agree with you that it definately is.. much of it is due to what I have on hand.. and to try new items .. as a product research.. just to see what effect is noticable after application.. and because all of it is done in containers which contain a potting mix with about zo nutrients.. everything I grow has received all of this.. and most likely others..
In the early spring I apply alfalfa pellets...W/ molasses [ animal food ] and let it decompose till planting..
I plant with a decomposed.. dehydrated cow manure
I start spraying with my version of the recipe very early.. and most every day.. the ingredients of this varry with higher nitrogen ferts added at first.. and then more of a bloombooster fert added.. later in the growth cycle..
plants are fed in the water twice a week ,, first with a balanced fertilizer..and then later with a bloom booster type ..
Once a week for two weeks I spray with Spray- n - Grow/with their Bills Perfect fertilizer..
on the third week I spray with messenger .. then back fo two weeks of S-N-G
a partial list of other items I've sprayed or fed is Tiger Bloom.. dyna grow.. mericle grow rose food.. .the new russian hormone called EPIN.. another called Cirkon.. ironite.. fish emulsion.. and a few hydroponic foods with piles of minors in the watering or as a spray..and like I say... others also..
For what it's worth.. an opinion of all of this ... from someone obviously obsessed.. the garden has never been as green.. as lush.. or healthy... and disease or pest free.. but what else would you expect .... Gordon
