Comment by Dave MacLean on March 6, 2010 at 9:49am - Hi Howard, good source of Potassium as well. It might be a good idea to get a soil analysis 2 or 3 times per year. You don't want to tie up any of those neat nutrients by going out of balance.

Then sprinkle them on my garden. You don't want to use too much though because it can cause the soil to become too alkaline and impair plant growth. A PH meter can help determine your soils acidity or alkalinity.

- Hi Linda, we have a great "foliar feed" as well called "Total". It is a concentrated, high energy liquid to feed the plants. All plants hvae what's called "stomata"---thousands of tiny mouths on the undersides of leaves. This is where they take in the nutrients. Our Total contains fish, seaweed, coral calcium, molasses, beneficial biologicals etc. Let me know if you are interested and I can get you more info. and pricing. Thanks.

sorry I have been an absentee landlord here. yes fireplace wood-ashes are loaded with Potassium and calcium.
Most organic Fertilizers you buy from the store are not Sustainable and even though organic are made from heavy fuel based processes that are not good for the planet. I'm trying to grow a garden using what I can grow myself and compost myself to bring my soil up to snuff. If I import anything it will be local sources of Manures, fall leaves, etc.

Well I have several sources of water, 3 bird baths and our waterfall in our pond. Never had this problem before. I have always had hummers. Just wondering if the winter weather we had messed them up. Oh well maybe next year.

Love this flower. Never was able to grow it though. Thought it was called queen Anns Lace. I think it adds charm to the garden.

Sheryl, that shouldn't be a problem, I have a seed feeder in close proximity and the humming birds seem happy enough to share. They just seem to perch on the tiny twigs where the big guys cant get to. Chech the surronding territory, perhaps someone…
