Perhaps that is what is wrong with the cactus-mix plants. We had a fair
amount of rain this spring, and it pretty much washes right through the
cactus-mix.
What do you think about the slow-release pellets like the ones miracle
grow sells?
While we are on the subject of fertilizer, I read that habs in
particular can use some calcium. Non of the fertilizers I've read list
any calcium. Is there a good place to get some calcium to add?
