Fish, blood and bone.

, they make their own in the roots. Too much nitrogen (blood) and you get too much leaf and not enough flowers. If you sprinkle it after you have planted, make sure you water it in well, and don't leave any on the leaves. by eddie3

heap-any thing that rots down in the soil tends to deplete the nitrogen content. by blueberry77

Peace Hybrid Tea Rose

but with no blooms Bad news-usually a lot of leafy growth indicates too much nitrogen-and chicken manure is rich in nitrogen. You best bet is not too feed it at all-I have a neighbour who does zero in the garden-not even pruning yet his roses bloom with no help. What by Carol Bennett

mulch

and mdf/ chipboard or any of those products It's best to mix wood shavings and sawdust with green stuff and compost it before use. The microbes which break down woody matter need nitrogen to do so and will take it from the soil if you dig it in. It's OK by Sandy14

Sweet Peas

bit longer for the flowers to come . I'm not so sure, the stalks are long and just look as though the flower has been picked off - but I know it hasn't - there has never been a bud. Maybe you are feeding them too much nitrogen and not enough potassium by Toto

Pepper and Chilli problems

was only watering when the plants needed it Pam x Well, the pale green/yellow can mean nitrogen deficiency but I'm sure you're feeding them and the foliage is lush anyway. Let the mix dry out completely before watering again and see what happens. Will do by lilylouise

Growing Garlic

feeding jon cob, I have friends who grow garlic very successfully but they don't do this forum, so I gave their advice as I don't grow it as I'm not that keen on it. I use a high nitrogen liquid feed. by rocketman
