Daffodils in Pots
 
All my daffodils are in pots. I normally throw them away after they
have flowered as I find that they are all blind if I try to use them
again. Is there any way, feeding etc, that I can keep them and make
sure they flower again next year?

Have a look at this:http://www.flowerfarm.co.uk/daffodils_aftercare.htm

I presume you use fresh bulb compost every year?

Daffodils in Pots
 
I grow some daffs and quite a few Tulips in pots; I leave them in the
pot all year, but I find the secret is when they come into bud, feed
them.
A high potash feed is best - something like tomato feed with an NKP
of 15:15:30 is good. Apply at half strength weekly for 4 weeks or
until the leaves begin to decay.
