Q.growing rose plant
What are the cheap and organic fertilizers for rose plant? Can I use Kitchen waste like eggshells, vegetable peels and cow dung? When to use the fertilizers? And can ash can do any help as fertilizer?
Hello and thank you for your questions sent to us here at Gardening Know How. I will provide you with some links to articles on these subjects. Eggshells need to be smashed up into fine powder to provide benefits quicker as large pieces take a long long time to get broken down. Vegetable peels and cow dung should be composted together for a while so they get broken down and thus of more use to the roses without burning the roots or causing root mold or rot problems. Ash is not something I recommend as it can be extremely harmful depending upon what the ash is from and its acidic content. I personally like an organic based rose food that is reasonably priced by Richlawn Company called Gro Rich Rose and Perennial Food. I am not sure what might be available in your area, ask at your local garden centers to find out what is available. Here are links to some articles for you:
