I did not plan to fertilize my in ground plants again until shooting season (June-Oct). I gave them all 33-0-0 monthly through this years season. I added mulch, but no organic material such as manure. What is the best fertilization schedule in your opinion?Glen wrote:da7id wrote:I cut back on fertilizer going into winter - I'll hit it with some this afternoon - maybe that's the issue - tons of water would have diluted whatever fertilizer it had (mostly composted manure) right?
This is off topic, but I pruned the top killed culms from my Graceful sometime in April. I did get aggressive with what I took out, probably 50%. The root ball shot out a tremendous amount of worthless small diameter culms which were a pain to trim out to a reasonable level. I would say I definitely experienced "Downsizing", but I'm not sure if it came from over pruning or the brutal winter. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks .
