Fertilizer Question
I'm quite new to gardening, this year I decided to plant some outdoor
flower gardens but I think I may have made a mistake. On one garden, I spread peat moss and then added a few handfulls of 6-12-12 fertilizer (the pelleted kind). A couple of weeks later, I transplanted a few plants I'd started indoors (Craspedia), and sowed a package of Marigolds. Within a couple of days, the Craspedia roots/stalks had turned beet red, and the plants appeared to be dying. I assumed it was because of unseasonably cold weather, and moved them back in the house - where they seem to be improving. However, none of the Marigolds I planted ever came up, and the few weeds that have begun growing there also have dark red roots. Was the fertilizer simply too strong, and will I have to replace the soil before planting anything else?? -- To reply via Email, remove NOSPAM from the address |
