A whole fish for each seed? holy carp, that's a lotta fish for a field of corn!!!

When I planted the roses on my west side of the back yard, I waited a month, and then I used the MiracleGro shaker can. It was supposed to feed for 3 months and I did that because I was afraid of forgetting that side of the yard (so new to me). It worked nicely! Smiling I didn't lose any roses on that side of the yard. This year, I've been stingy w/feeding (and watering, and caring for.. ) and you can definitely see that I haven't taken care of them at all. :(

I just drained a 65 gal freshwater aquarium that was in my living room. I didn't dump it down the drain, I snaked my drain hose (a "python", if you will) outside and into one of my flower beds. Can't see all that water going to waste! Smiling :) Smiling Plus the fish poo.. free fertilizer! Now I don't recommend this with saltwater tanks....
Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...
