Grow Healthier & More Vibrant Roses

Submitted by: Karen Tindall  11/02/2009 11:40 AM
 
One more tip for anyone interested in growing roses. I take 2 quarts of my leftover dish water and pour over my roses, and other flowers, vegetables, etc to kill bugs, water and stops fungus that can grow on your plants. I also take any old bananas, instead of composting, I now freeze the bananas "whole", peels and all, then a couple of times a month I use them as "spikes" and shove them into the ground next to my roses. This is pure potasium and roses love it! Your blooms and colors next year will be gorgeous. I learned this from a master gardener of flowers and roses.

Thanks,
Karen

Thanks for the tip. I will try that with my over ripe bananas. I have thrown so many out, but not anymore! :)
