A complete fertilizer simply means it contains the major (macro) nutrients nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Prominently displayed on the front of any complete fertilizer package are three numbers. These numbers refer to the percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium respectively. The most common ratio sold for roses is a 1-2-1 ratio, for example 5-10-5.

This is a tough one to answer, because fertilization is so tremendously tied to water quality, potting medium, temperature, light and a variety of other factors. However, if you just have a few plants, and don't want to fuss around a lot learning about the intricacies of water and fertilizer, I'd simply suggest you get any reasonably balanced 'orchid' fertilizer, that is low in urea, and use it at approximately 1/4 to1/2 the label strength every other watering.

Answer: There are about as many special recipes for rose fertilizer and techniques for feeding roses as there are rose growers. All you need to know is that for a rose to produce a good show of blossoms, it needs to be fed. That food may come in the form of compost or well-aged manure, or come in a bag or bottle of ready-to-use fertilizer. We prefer a mix of both. We apply a shovel-full of compost per rose in early spring and late fall.

The ideal fertilizer would supply and maintain all the necessary nutrients for optimum growth throughout the entire growing season, under the unique conditions of your rose garden. Ideally this fertilizer would match your personal gardening philosophy whether it be organic or synthetic and would fit your lifestyle whether it be rose gardening fanatic or I got better things to do with my time rose fancier. There is no specific fertilizer that would meet this criteria.

Epsom salts is the common name for magnesium sulfate which in adequate supply can produce bigger flowers and healthier plants. Both magnesium and sulfur are essential elements for plant growth. It has been suggested by garden writers, extension people, and rose enthusiasts that roses require higher than normal levels of magnesium seldom found in complete fertilizers.

Usually a fertilizer with a 3-1-2 ratio of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium is suitable, applied at a rate of one to one and a half pounds of Nitrogen per thousand square feet of turf. Most soils in the Clearwater area are very high in Phosphorus content and because Potassium is as leachable in our sandy soils as Nitrogen, we recommend equal percentages of Nitrogen and Potassium, with no or very little Phosphorus.

Contrary to popular beliefs, most lawn fertilizer should be applied in late summer and fall. By fertilizing in the fall rather than spring, your lawn stays green longer in the fall, greens-up earlier in the spring, maintains higher energy reserves in the summer, and perhaps most importantly, increases its tolerance to summer stresses such as disease.

Fertilizer recommendations are usually based on the amount needed to meet your yard's nitrogen requirements. To determine the amount of fertilizer required to apply one pound of nitrogen to 1,000 square feet, divide 100 by the percent of nitrogen in the fertilizer. Here are some nitrogen guidelines for specific grass species.

Compost can contain varying amounts of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. However, the concentrations of these nutrients in compost are usually lower than those found in common fertilizers. Compost is more properly described as a soil amendment or soil conditioner which returns valuable organic material to the soil. In addition, compost does benefit the soil be improving soil structure, aeration and water retention.

A specialty fertilizer is any fertilizer distributed primarily for non-farm use, such as home gardens, lawns, shrubs, flowers, golf courses, municipal parks, cemeteries, greenhouses and nurseries. It may include fertilizers used for research or experimental purposes.

Various phosphates are used in fire extinguishing as chemical powders. Fire-extinguisher powders based on the ammonium phosphates are effective against all classes of fires, and, therefore, are the basis for most multipurpose fire extinguishers. With the action of heat, ammonium phosphates release non-combustible gases and carbonizing substances, which extinguish the flames. Tricalcium phosphate often serves as a free-flowing agent for the fire-extinguishing powder.

The simple answer: Yes, if anything, flowering plants need extra fertilizer Your plants will need to be fertilized with a product appropriate to the medium in which they are grown. In general, plants in a bark-based mix will need a fertilizer high in nitrogen (usually in a 3-1-1 ratio), while a balanced fertilizer will do for all others (usually a1-1-1 ratio). If in doubt, fertilize with the same balanced fertilizer you use for your other container plants only weaker solution.
