The one time I didn't shun the cheap way I messed up. I decided to
fertilize my lilies with plain old 10-10-10. No need to buy those
expensive pills, they are just 10-20-10, right?

Lined up the pots with a piece of 3/4-inch PVC, poured some 10-10-10
into it and jabbed it home with plastic covered tomato stake. Slick.
I did have some spillage though. Didn't give the spillage a second
thought at the time.

My formerly crystal clear water is so green even the fish cannot find
the surface.

These are the kinds of mistakes one does not repeat. At least until
that Alzheimer's thing starts kicking in.
