This and asparagus!EBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09405771860220362327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458988100990689523.post-54632166234270822522009-05-08T20:42:00.000+01:002009-05-08T20:42:00.000+01:00Hi Kim, Thanks for the comment and the question. B...Hi Kim, Thanks for the comment and the question. Blood Fish and Bonemeal is a balanced organic fertiliser so its a good alround fertiliser to get things growing in spring. Later on when you want to encourage flower or fruit rather than growth you would just use bonemeal as this is a potash fertiliser. Basically you can feed these to any of your plantschoosing one or the other depending on what you want the plant to do. If for some reason you wanted a plant to make a lot of growth you could just use blood on its own (this comes in a powder form so don't go slitting your wrists or anything). Blood is high in nitrogen but as with any nitrogen fertiliser care has to be taken or you will end up with lots of weak leggy growth.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07181200914575879730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458988100990689523.post-90752886750162574732009-05-08T13:43:00.000+01:002009-05-08T13:43:00.000+01:00Thanks for the info on the peonies...I didn't know...Thanks for the info on the peonies...I didn't know about the blood, bone and fish meal. Would the same information work for the other peonies? That's what I have. I gave up on the tree peony because the blooms only lasted 1 or 2 days - the wind always blew the flowers off! Oh, and patience is also needed for when you transplant - they resent it, don't they!<br />Kim in JapanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458988100990689523.post-82508023540490856622009-05-08T00:37:00.000+01:002009-05-08T00:37:00.000+01:00That is gorgeous.

I would be one to yank the plant out of the ground, if I didn't get flowers after a year or two. Patience pays, in this case.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715453703592474992noreply@blogger.com
