2. Liquid fertilizer....I feel you get much better aim that way...xxx You could try it out in my garden if you like... Edit~ewww,is fertilizer poo?????? I was trying to be sexy and it back fired,LMAO!
3. Is this a sex question? Dry handed or lubed hand?
4. What do the instructions on the packet say? Liquid fertiliser doesn't last as long as the "dry" kind, but this depends on what type you actually have, not on whether you get it wet or not, so read the box. The type that comes as liquid or that's designed to be diluted is highly water-soluble, so rain will wash it away pretty fast and you'll have to re-apply it regularly. Solid fertiliser hangs around for longer and feeds the plant over a period of time, which is much less work for you in the long run. Best thing to use is rotted down organic matter like manure or compost, which releases nutrients over a long period of time and also improves soil structure and the number of worms, which are also really good for your garden. Plus these things don't have a damaging effect on wildlife and the rest of the planet, as some artificial fertilisers do.
5. ^ ^ Jesus, Alice is a fuckingperv. Anywho, whateverthefuck your question's asking, the answer is anal, whore. *cries*
6. Using compost is the best for the bush and the environment. Many fertilizers, even organic ones, are chemical based. These chemicals get into the rain run off and end up in the water table, creeks, streams and end up polluting those very waters. You can buy compost or if you want the convenience of a liquid food, get some deodorized fish oil. Mix according to the directions on the bottle.
7. I've always found that liquid fertilizer makes my bush much more luxurious. The wetness just seems to make it really blossom.
8. Go with the liquid fertilizer with your hose, its much less work
9. LMAO Guido! Timmy why are you molesting these poor people here in the Garden section? You know this question was more relevant to the LGBT section!
10. liquid fertilizer oh snap! I just trimmed my bush down to nothing, you probably should spread your seed on my spreadt bush xxx
11. Either method is acceptable. I prefer the hose method, although some bushes prefer the dry hand technique.
12. I agree with Guido. Deviant contributor 'Alice' clearly has an unwholesome fixation with pervo sex. This is Home/Home & Garden/Garden & Landscape, for crisakes, woman! I feel sullied.
