You can pick up Sevin at Lowe’s, Home Depot, Wal Mart and many places. But it isn’t a fertilizer. It is for bug control and comes as a powder and a liquid.

For fertilizer, I prefer Ortho, but right now I’m using Miracle Grow. Ortho has more of a long-term effect allowing for less frequent feeding. But at this time, I want to use a fertilizer which needs more frequent feeding. Miracle Grow recommends a 7 to 14-day schedule. I’m intensifying that now in the beginning.

And don’t take me as an expert. I’m not. I’m just playing it by ear.
