Hi all, what does everyone use for fertilizing lillies and marginals, etc.
and where do ya get it...I have never fertilized before but would like to
try it. Will it turn my water green? Thanks Claude

Claude,

I use PondTabs for my lilies and lotus. They are heavy feeders and due to
being planted in clay, they do not get enough nutrients from the pond. The
marginals just eat pond water.

I use only one kind of fertilizer....... I get it at Home Depot for aboaut
$3.49 for a package of 6 sticks. Its called Miracle-Gro Tree Spikes for
Fruit and Citrus. I break the sticks into about 1 inch chunks and cram 2 of
those down into the soil of each plant pot. they dissolve slowly at the
root level and the plants grow like crazy. Someone on this site suggested
it several years ago and it has worked great for me and is cheap and easy.

A lot of places have "generic" fruit tree spikes, which means you can get
about a dozen or more for the same $$$. I use those; the "ingredients" are
the same.
