I once spilt some Growmore from a sack I was loading to take down to my allotment. I swept it up and threw it around some sad old roses in my neighbours garden (I was tending it for them), I could not believe the growth and flower that year, seemed different plants. -- Regards Bob Hobden |

If you or a neighbour has a wood-burning stove the ash contains useful levels of potassium, and it's free. Roses won't mind a slightly higher pH from using the ashes.
