I know the common answer to my question...get a soil test and a plant tissue test. I also know that for many years we were told that daylilies should not be given much nitrogen and that to do so would result in all foliage and few blooms. Now it seems as if the things can't be feed enough nitrogen (well almost).
So last year I actually did fertilize my daylilies a little, I am not sure it did any good, but from what I keep reading they will almost surely benefit from more fertilizer than I have been giving them. So even if I did get the test done I am not sure the recommendations would be correct specifically for daylilies. Any comments on that would be welcome.
I bought some Milorganite and some 20-0-5 (I think it was) three month release fertilizer, and plan to get some Alfalfa pellets. Can anyone advise how much should be applied to each plant assuming the three are mixed together in equal amounts (or other suggested ratios).
I will appreciate any comments from those of you who do not fertilize at all and from those who really apply ample amounts of fertilizers. The experience of those who have switched back and fourth between methods would be highly appreciated.
