Re: CULT: Fertilizer



Ben R. Hager, "Culture and Propagation" The World of Irises, p.315.

"In planning a program for fertilizing irises, a chemical analysis of your 
soil is helpful. However, a standard formula for general use is 6-10-6. If 
your supplier cannot furnish this formula you can combine the separate 
components, ammonium nitrate, superphosphate, and potash, into a comparable 
formula. Plants need all of these three major elements. It is a mistake to 
starve plants of nitrogen entirely, even though overuse can cause soft growth 
and subsequent rot."
