Soluable Potash: Several years ago I bought a small box of soluable potash from Mellingers to spray the daffodils after bloom. Later was able to get a 50# bag for just a few dollars more but I lost the instructions for mixing it. I think it is 0-0-60. Does anyone know how much I should use per gallon? does it work just as well to water the daffodils with it rather than spraying the foliage?
Weed control: the centipede and zoysia grass is choking out the daffodils. Also, other weeds and field grasses in the fields. I have sprayed roundup some when dormant but was wondering if anyone else has used roundup to kill all the weeds and grasses on dormant beds? I sprayed an area last year where daffodils use to be, with the grass gone, three clumps popped up this year.
Thanks, Char
