Natalie, you will come out much cheaper to buy some additional fans of Wild Horses instead of buying BAP. I bought 4 50 lb. bags of alfalfa pellets today from Tractor Supply.
Michele, I should have some happy worms here after what I did today. I planted 20 dips in a new area. I dug out large holes and filled each with half a bag of Lowe's top soil which is fine fine bark, sand, and fly ash and a gallon pot of sand that had been dregged out of a nearby lake. To each hole I also added a gallon pot or two of composted horse manure with shavings, TWO cups of alfalfa pellets, one cup of milorganite, and about a 1/4-1/3 cup slow release fertilizer. Using a shovel I mixed all of these ingredients well before planting each daylily. After I finished all the planting, I added ANOTHER cup of alfalfa pellets on top of the ground out around each daylily. Then I watered the bed well with a water hose and nozzle. I will water every couple of days for a couple of weeks. I am out of epsom salt. I will add epsom salt and pelletized lime. Happy worms, happy plants!
Doris
