Re: milk
My wife got some of the hydroponic solutions, and they
work much better than stuff like miricle grow on our other
plants. They have to have just about everything in them for
hydroponicly grown plants to thrive. I'm using them on my
pumpkin, but it's too soon to tell. She has a petunia
that's now a year and a half old that is the size of a
bushel basket, with blooms all over. Not bad for a plant
that's supposed to be an annual.
