i've been thinking about buying a hibiscus to grow and pinch the flowers off as tort food but what kind of organic nutrition's could i give it to help grow? i know very little about plants but i'd love to start growing my own tort food
I think Maggie is correct in saying water/sun/dirt is a great combination to begin with,.....and you can eventually gather/collect/harvest your torts poo for the sprinkling...now, I do not know for certain anything about cow/bull poo, other than it is really gross eek but if the cow/bull is offered organic fields to graze on then, hell, why not? but is organic fields are not the case, then I would hesitate to use their poo.....not saying Maggie is wrong (because I adore Maggie and find her to be a smart cookie from old school days) but I personally get "ooked" out by the whole un organic poo thing...uck...
You mean the bushes? They have the bud set now and they will bloom continually until October. They will start blooming in about 3 weeks.i cant see how manure would hurt him.......i mean unless he ate JUST the manure how many times a year do they produce for you?
Thanks for the compliment Angela, I appreciate that.I think Maggie is correct in saying water/sun/dirt is a great combination to begin with,.....and you can eventually gather/collect/harvest your torts poo for the sprinkling...now, I do not know for certain anything about cow/bull poo, other than it is really gross eek but if the cow/bull is offered organic fields to graze on then, hell, why not? but is organic fields are not the case, then I would hesitate to use their poo.....not saying Maggie is wrong (because I adore Maggie and find her to be a smart cookie from old school days) but I personally get "ooked" out by the whole un organic poo thing...uck...

This is kinda good point of reference in offering some "basic" information on a variety of common "poos' for use....did I say, ewww---ewwww....
You crack me up! I use Bob poop on all my outside growing stuff. I collect it daily and put it in a dirt pile then turn it and turn it and soon enough it looks just like dirt, only rich in nutrients and worms. Then I shovel it onto the plants. I do try to make sure all the 'poo' is desolved, it is a bit disconcerting to be weeding and grasp a whole turd with my bare hands...http://www.garden.org/ediblelandscaping/?page=201104-animal-manures
