2 years ago I started to add azomite for the first time in the planting holes. Have not really noticed if it had made a difference or not. I figure it wouldn't hurt :)
Peonies are very prominent in Chinese paintings. I was in northern China two weeks ago and saw this tree peony bed. It was too bad that it was too early and none was blooming. It would be a gorgeous sight when all is blooming.
