    Thanks David.
    First time I have used them. I wanted something different then the usual mass of petunias and the need to dead head every day.
    They seem to working just fine at the moment.

      Not a secret...honest. It is a commercialy available product, with quite amazing claims. Time will tell but at the moment it looks promising..
      Drop me a pm and I shall pass the intel.

      I have just worked out the cost of the product + postage works out at 11.8P per gallon of mixture.
      How this compares to other soluble feeds I have not idea.
      Has anybody ever reseached this issue?

      Robert, there is a pale mauve variety which is quite stunning. They are very useful plants for baskets and containers, and , of course, they are perennials.:dbgrtmb:

              They are looking beautiful simbad. :) I can't wait for mine to become more profuse. How long have yours been planted up? :fingerdrum: I think that the Summer will be over, before mine make much of a show, as l was so late planting them up this year.:cry3:

                  Planted these up end of April time Josie, while the plants were still small so I could cram more in,hung them in the greenhouse for quite a while, they've come on really fast in the last couple of weeks, sure yours'll be looking great soon and then mine'll be over:cry3:

                    Just noticed that the feed I am using is available from a well know shopping channel with free P & P today. For today only.
