Gardener's Tip: Fertilizing Roses

What woman doesn't love roses? Or man, for that matter. Not only are they beautiful; but, their scent is hypnotizing. Here are two ways to fertilize roses the natural way.
Flatten a banana peel and bury it under one inch of soil at the base of a rosebush. The peel’s potassium feeds the plant and helps it resist disease. As the peel decomposes, it also adds valuable compost.
Once a year, very early spring, sprinkle a tablespoon of epsom salts around the base of your rose plants. This will take care of any magnesium deficiency problems you may have.
Good gardening!
