Hi Barbara,
Many people who share information on rec.gardens.roses use the alfalfa
pellets. They are much cheaper and do much the same job. If you dig it in,
it should be just fine. I often put it on top of the ground, and have to
break it up when it crusts.
In a previous e-mail, you mentioned wanting more blooms. Osmocote, the
formula with minors, is used at San Jose Heritage Rose Garden. If they use
anything else, you can find out on rec.gardens.roses.
Check out the newsgroup for more information on alfalfa, Osmocote, or other
mulches and fertilizers. You can reach it at this address:

Here's to many beautiful roses,
