Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comTHis Bouganvilla is on a West facing patio in Frisco, TX. It’s April 10, I”ve heard I should trim back for thick flowers, or is this one good as it sits? Also, is compost (garage made with coffee, juicing pulp – red beets, grapes, oranges, spinach, carrots, potting soil) good for feed, or do I still need a good flower fertilizer? Thanks for any help! Greg
