Wayne TurvilleHOST
And I said, look, I'm sorry, I don't know you and I don't want to impose, but you've bought an awful lot of very cheap potting mix there.
Wayne TurvilleHOST
I do suggest strongly that you add some Osmocote or something to it.
Wayne TurvilleHOST
And she said, oh, why? And I said, well, it's $4.95.
Wayne TurvilleHOST
It's probably composted sawdust.
Wayne TurvilleHOST
And if you don't put the Osmocote in...
Wayne TurvilleHOST
Or uncompossed bark.
Wayne TurvilleHOST
Or uncompossed, yeah.
Wayne TurvilleHOST
We won't, you know, what's the word for it? Liable or anything like that.
Tom MacCubbinHOST
You have several choices here.
Tom MacCubbinHOST
You can go in with a quick-release liquid fertilizer, which is what I use this time, or you can use a slow-release, things like Osmocote, for instance, or Fertilum's slow-release products.
Tom MacCubbinHOST
And there's a number of them out there that are available that you could use.
Tom MacCubbinHOST
Need to fertilize the lawn.
Angelo PetittiHOST
the end of March, early April.
Angelo PetittiHOST
And then when it comes late June to mid-July, you give them a little bit of Osmocote.
Angelo PetittiHOST
Osmocote will keep them vegetative all the way through the end of the year, especially if they are the ones that bloom throughout the whole season.
Angelo PetittiHOST
That will make a huge difference.
Angelo PetittiHOST
That will keep them vegetative.
Jim CrowderHOST
going to use it.
Jim CrowderHOST
Next year, totally, instead of just using the four-month Osmocote, I'm going to use it, and every two or three weeks, just go ahead and give the container plants another shot.
Jim CrowderHOST
Yeah,
Kenneth MabryHOST
because typically if you're using a water-soluble, the beauty of it is it works really fast, and that's what people love about them.
Jim CrowderHOST
Right.
Jim CrowderHOST
But when you've got, you know, like I know lots of pots and it's a fairly loose mix.
Jim CrowderHOST
So even with the Osmocote, the 1266, you're losing a good bit of that right out the bottom.
Vada VanceHOST
Because you're watering so much in containers.
JasmeenAUDIENCE
Okay.
JasmeenAUDIENCE
And can I feed with them with the Osmocote all-purpose or endo plant or specially rosacea?
Graeme RossHOST
I think it's better with roses, especially in pots, that you use something like Sudden Impact for roses, and Sudden Impact is a pellet, so you can just sprinkle those pellets on.
Graeme RossHOST
That's what I feed my roses with, and I've got to tell you, I've got my Graham Ross roses in pots, and we've just planted 11 or 12 roses from Treloar's there, and we planted them in winter.
Gerald AdamsGUEST
... uh, more, more the key, uh, p-
Mike RaleyHOST
Yeah, like an Osmocote or, or a-
Gerald AdamsGUEST
And there are a number of other varieties
Mike RaleyHOST
...
DaveAUDIENCE
And after that, uh, 30 days, what, uh, fertilizer would I use?
Mike RaleyHOST
I, I probably would just go ahead and use a slow-release fertilizer, like Osmocote.
Mike RaleyHOST
There are pl-
Rufus EdmistenHOST
Yeah, something real low in nitrogen
Steve WoodHOST
And that's a fabulous idea.
Steve WoodHOST
And what about nutrition? I can imagine the slow release or, you know, the Osmocote type fertilizers would play a role in bonsai.
Steve WoodHOST
That's just a guess.
Steve WoodHOST
Yeah.
Bill CalkinsHOST
And that Garden Media Group will facilitate that discussion, but not stamp the name on it.
Bill CalkinsHOST
And Seth, I hope you realize that when Mason was talking about controlled release fertilizers, he purposely did not say Osmocote, which is why he purposely did not try to drop a brand name in there to make someone angry.
Bill CalkinsHOST
So just maybe you two could go back after this call and talk about what
Seth ReedHOST
to say and what not to say.
Milton VadoulisGUEST
A liquid fertilizer, any liquid fertilizer.
Milton VadoulisGUEST
You use a granular like Dynamic Lifter or Sudden Impact, one of those, or you use a controlled-release fertilizer like Osmocote or Ferticoat.
Milton VadoulisGUEST
The other...
Milton VadoulisGUEST
I...
DebAUDIENCE
I have tried wheat seed-
Milton VadoulisGUEST
Mm-hmm
DebAUDIENCE
... banana water, Osmocote, PowerFeed and coffee grounds.
Milton VadoulisGUEST
Yeah.
