am new in using plant food i bought one from the hardware store its called azalea rhododendroa natural organic plant food. i read the instruction but i have so many other flowers for example hibisicus flower hot peppers plant that didnt mention on the box do u think it is safe to feed all the flowers plants using these product call azalea rhododendroa natural organic plant food
If I were you, I’d save my azalea food for your azalea/rhod; although your hibiscus can use it; and certain other plants like blueberries. The components in that particular plant food changes your pH level-which will affect the acid level of your soil. If you’re fertilizing other plants right now and you’re in a climate that gets cold, don’t get another fertilizer with nitrogen in it because that causes foliage to grow and if the plant is going into dormancy, it doesn’t help your plant.
how much liquid starter fertilizer do you apply per acre when seeding? how much is this about in cost?
look at my other question earlier, noone had an answer for me?
Depends on what product it is and the concentration of the ingredients. Not all liquid ferts are the same. You’ll need to get the product and look at the label. All chems registered with the EPA will have this info as well as mixing instructions and safety instructions. As far as the cost goes, you will know this if you decide to purchase the product…

I really want gold laced orpingtons (breed of chicken), but there are no breeders of them in ireland. There are some in england, but i dont know if you can import poultry over. I dont think i could raise chicks. Help me!!!!!!Please!!!! Oh yeah i cant have cockrels, so what would i do with them???? I couldn’t face culling them, and i dont think anybody would want them. . .
from what i know of moving poultry about the country is o.k. to take them from England to Ireland i would say that you might be able to take them on the fairy (if there is one, I’m not shore because I’m in Dorset) say they are pets or they could be flown over. but there might be some restrictions because of the bird flu but in the end you should be able to get birds from England to Ireland in good time, and you should have a cock-bird because if you have 2 hens and 1 cock-bird the hens can have chicks and lots more chicken and eggs.
Somebody sprayed a powerful herbicide within one foot of my tomato plant is it salvageable?
I planted it along the fence and the neighbor sprayed the border of his property. He’s not a gardener, and I’m very new to it. Everything else I’d planted was ornamental so he thought that was too. He just told me about it once he saw tomatoes growing on “that plant”. I didn’t know what they looked like either. Anyway it was this Roundup stuff meant mainly for pavement which he used on weeds growing up the fence. There is still an inch wide stripe of yellow/brown grass just to his side…I wish I used a raised bed. So is my tomato crop toxic death or what? I know even heavy duty pesticide sprayed on various seeds is considered “safe” as long as they are planted and not eaten. The application was about two months ago, within a week or so, before or after I planted for what its worth. We aren’t exactly sure. Thanks.
Roundup is a systemic weedkiller (glyphosate) so kills from the inside out, right down to the roots, so weeds can’t regrow.
In other words, it attacks any plants that it is applied to (like it has with his grass) but doesn’t “poison” the soil so you can happily replant there. If you already had plants there and it had attacked them you would have noticed within a matter of days. If you’ve seen no signs of trouble you’re fine.
Looks like he controlled his spraying with some accuracy but I’d suggest that’s a matter of luck! You might like to point out gently that he has to be very careful to ensure no spray drifts in the breeze in future onto plants he doesn’t want to kill . . . .
You may have seen the council bloke spraying along the kerb in the past, you’ll notice he holds the spray nozzle down low to the ground to avoid it drifting.
Foliar Fertilizers Ensure the Rapid Growth of Plants
Fertilizers are widely used to provide essential nutrients for the growth of healthy plants and crops. They are manufactured through chemical compounds and applied for plants through soil. Reason behind their use is that most of the nutrients are not found in the soil thus they fulfill the requirements of remaining nutrients. Therefore, for promoting the growth of the plants, fertilizers are applied through the roots. In fact some fertilizers are directly applied through the leaves that are known as foliar fertilizers. In addition to immediate benefits, foliar feeding can also increase uptake nutrients from the soil by encouraging plants to take up more water. Basically, nutrients are delivered to plants through their roots by watering or root drench. These types of fertilizers are mixed for foliar feeding that help in optimizing nutrient uptake in the leaves through plant pores (stomata).
In comparison to other fertilizers, foliar fertilizers are gaining recognition quickly as the crop protection scheme. Chemicals including potassium nitrate, potassium humate and Map mono-ammonium phosphate are some of the chemicals used widely as foliar fertilizers in the form of spray, powder and crystal. Foliar fertilizers are applied for an assortment of factors like strengthen damaged and weak plants and cure deficiencies. In addition to deliver nutrients to plants through leaves, the feeding method is more effective than the route nutrition and provides results more quickly.
On the other hand, foliar applied nutrients can make some other elements like iron. These fertilizers not only help to cover the leaves, stems and the plant parts that are susceptible to pests and parasites, but also speed up the crop growth. One of the main benefits of foliar feeding is that it also keeps plants away from the numerous disease and fungal attacks. However, foliar fertilizers are beneficial and provide good effects, but you are supposed to follow some precautions when applying them. The fertilizer should be applied only when the plants are most likely to benefit.
You must also keep in mind that, the fertilizers should be applied either in the late evening or early in the morning. This is because; in the late evening and early morning the temperatures are cool and dew is present on the leaves. And the stoma on the leaves is able to absorb the nutrients. On the other hand, during the heat of the day, it can damage the plant. It is also important to keep in mind that all the plants are different and need nutrients according to their requirements. When it comes to get details or buy the fertilizers, just search over the internet. There are a number of online stores offering you detailed information and foliar fertilizers.
