      Thanks, I will do that next summer as I was not satisfied with my flowers this summer. We did have the coolest summer since 2004, but I don't think that was the reason. I have been using a 10-10-10 fertilizer that my husband uses on h is vegetable garden.

    It depends on if you want to go with a water-soluble type that you use when you water, or granular. I myself use Miracle Gro sustained release that only needs to be applied like every three months and have good luck with it in my gardens and potted plants. I use the sustained release for tomatoes and veggies in the veggie garden and pots of veggies. Use the fertilizers as the packaging directs, if you give it too frequently or too much when you use it you can harm your plants.

    I use Miracle Gro sustained release, it needs only be reapplied every three months or so. Always follow the directions on the container so you don't overfeed and possible burn your plants no matter what you use.

    We use Miracle grow every ten days or so. We also mulch and water every other day. There are various forms of miracle grow for bushes, fruit trees, berry bushes, annual flowers etc but we just put the generic miracle grow on them all. Keeps it simple and they do fine.
