Trick or Treat for Plants: Treat Them With Fertilizer
Have you ever heard scratching noises at your door in the middle of the night right around Halloween? You get out of bed to check, and nobody is there? Just a random branch lying on your porch. Some years that may be the only time until next Halloween. Other years it repeats a few days later with a different branch, or even acorns or the like, on your porch. I will solve the mystery for you.
Even though you may not remember, your plants remember. Halloween, when the kids get candy, is one of the times to fertilize your outdoor plants. They are patient. They understand that Trick or Treaters come first. But once November 1st hits, all bets are off! The midnight scratching, and the pinecones hurled at your bedroom windows, all are to remind you to fertilize them!
The easiest way to be able to sleep again is simply to feed them! $29.99 is a small price to pay for sleep. That's all it is, for 25 pounds. Enough for most folk's entire planting areas. Plant-O-Ganic is the same fertilizer that my dad used when I was a kid. It has stood the test of time. There is no newfangled creation that works better. Simple and effective. This is an 8-8-8 fertilizer (which I only mention as some people like to know) that is slow release. As the components break down in the soil, they release at the rate the plant grows.
Simply toss it on the surface of the soil or mulch and walk away. Nothing complicated. Quick, simple, nearly effortless.
Adding it now will give the plant some to work with now, and some to work with early in the spring. This is late enough to prevent new growth, but early enough so that the nutrients can help prepare your plants for the upcoming winter. After Easter you may hear those same strange noises, so be forewarned. Whether you have strawberries or azaleas, maple trees or daylilies, This is the only fertilizer that you need for plants in the ground. I go into a bit more depth on one of my older blog posts. Some stores have seemingly hundreds of different types on the shelf? And yet, with access to nearly every fertilizer in the world, Tina and I choose Plant-O-Ganic for our own use.
Let's make it even easier. Order Plant-O-Ganic online, and you can pick it up, or we will deliver it! If you order over 3 bags, we will deliver it for free! ($10 delivery charge in our market area for 1, 2, or 3 bags.) Order here. Order before November 6th, and have it delivered before November 10.
