What fertilizer do you recommend

Hi there,

A newbie here. I have been using grannies bloomers all winter and have had great success with it.

Just wondering what everyone else's opinion is and what you prefer to use.

Thanks a bunch!

RE: What fertilizer do you recommend

ol,
i have had success extending the flowering season of odorata violets with fertiliser. i have used something similar sounding to yours. the n.p.k is 6.2/14.6/16.8. what i looked for was low n, nitrogen and high phoshate and potassium. i think inorganic would be more likely to work as the temperatures during violet season would not favour organic breakdown and release...just an untested theory, not an observation!
