Howdy Doody.

right I decided against getting Blood Fish Bone and opted for Growmore instead. Can I use it on my spuds? as well as the manure I dug in late last year? probably a stupid question but thats me

Cheers

I hope so!

The big clue was on the tub I'd got which told you how much to apply for spuds!

next STUPID question. On the tub it says don't get any on the stems of the plants. What happens if you do? and on the leaves? As it is pretty hard to not get it on them :oops: :oops: :oops:

The concentration of the stuff can 'burn' the foliage. (That's leaves to you).

A note of caution,growmore will promote an expansion of foliage at the expense of root growth,use sparingly ,it is ideal for cabbages etc.

Oh great... I am even more worried now, I blame John and his book for all of this, as I read about these in his book and haven't used anything like this until now
