Fertilising ahla jow....

Post by paddles »

On Sat, jow gave a very informative talk on pines and fertilising, so today, I decided to make and apply fertiliser cakes (Now I know I was being stupid here, because I knew this would happen) I mixed blood and bone (yes this is the most stupid ingrediant) dynamic lifter, trace element, seasol, and phosphate (i had some) I made a slurry and then filled those little cage thingys, then put one per tree. with the big pots I jsut dumped a handful of the mix...

the dogs followed me around... now the dogs have a belly full of fertiliser, including licking the tops of all the pots....

:palm: :palm: :palm:

How could I have been so stupid????
