Thank you so much Jennifer! I think the NPK ratio is wrong and I only know that because I was talking to John Shooter (Marrietta Daylilys) earlier. I had put in a small order and they were out of something, plus I forgot to give them my phone number. So, I called them to let them know of a replacement and a delivery date.
So I began talking to this really funny man, after I gave him the order and phone number he asked if he could use my credit card, he wanted to go out to Red Lobster. Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing Rolling on the floor laughing
Anyway, after I got up off the floor, I started asking a lot of questions about fertilizer and rebloomers and stuff.
Then I asked about the fertilizer and he did not give me a brand but he said 16-4-8 and the number in the middle will lock up fertilizer if its too high. He uses Epsom salt to relax the soil and break it down. Also he said if you plant corn in the spot it will eat up the phosphorus also.
Next time I go to the feed and seed I will ask Tom if he has something with that ratio. But that is what he told me is good for Daylilies and I guess he should know. Green Grin!
Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Mat.6:28-29
