My <br />grandma used it and until I became a certified official rosarian, passing <br />tests, and studying in Ca to gain the certification from the American Rose Society I did not know the reason, only that it worked. Some "poo poo" it but it has always worked for me and so it does here, applications first thing in the spring and once again later inthe growing season are all it takes. <br />today. It is also good for any plants and cheap!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09093078029028920810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6733427454505364336.post-16312690504095502792011-04-14T19:08:42.198-05:002011-04-14T19:08:42.198-05:00Epsom salts?

Looking forward to your photos too! Great post....!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.com
