I have just gotten some of this product which is said to be used by golf course groundskeepers and is an organic with some manure. I have several miniatures which the rose soil has compacted and "washed down" such that the original root ball with soil is showing at the top near the basal brake of the miniature bushes. Can I use the Vigoro Top dressing as a mulch for these roses to build back up the soil levels and moderately feed so that the decomposition of the mulch material will not rob the roses of nitrogen? ______________________________________________________________________ William M.
