my local garden center sells specilized pond ferts for $10 a bag. it
contains 10 tabs which obvious don't last long.

* That's a rip-off. Use Jobes Rose spikes broken into thirds or fourths.
Push them into the soil and cover with more soil - add gravel to keep soil
in place.

in the plants they
sells i see regular tiny marble sized ferts. this is what i intend to
use this season because i can by a 10lb bag of that stuff for $10.

* Tiny marble size ferts??? What is the name of the product?

what should i get? i'm guessing a 10-10-10 mix with all the micro's.
any recomendations on which brand? should it be water soluable or not?
