Fertilizing ?

18 years ago

Can composted steer manure mixed with compost (bought in bags from HD) be considered/used as fertilizer? I mixed a lot to condition the soil if fall plus gave each rose 2 cups of alfalfa pallets and a top dressing / mulch of manure and compost mix after pruning.

Do they need more? If yes what do you recommend and when should it be applied?

I have some chemical based fertilizers leftover from previous years. I like to use them first before moving to more expensive organic fertilizers. However, if they are going to kill all the good bacteria and the worms, I will skip them all together. I

Thanks for advice,

FJ
