Just getting four this fall,
so I hope to get holes dug and ready for them before they get here.
Reading some of what Netherlands growers do, and they "chalk" the peonies?
I assume this means adding limestone, or some form of Calcium carbonate to the soil.
I am thinking that I might buy ordinary white chalk, and bang a piece in beside each peony.
It would be like those fertilizer spikes.
So I tried ordinary chalk on some peonies--------but chalk is expensive compared to Dolmitic Limestone so going withe that for the rest. It has the added benefit of Magnesium too.
