Flower Bulb Super Food

I have several varieties but these are the best I have used:

Take 2 Lbs of bone meal, 2 Lbs of woodashe and  1 Lb of Epsom Salts and mix together in a bucket.  Sprinkle on the flower bulbs as you plant them and wait for a show of flowers that can't be beat.

Take 1 cup sugar, 3 cups bone meal and 1 cup Epsom salts in a bucket.  Sprinkle in holes or rows as you plant seedlings or seed the ground or garden plot.  Gives your plants and added boost to start their roots off right giving you stronger plants.

Get Your Lawn Drunk!

In a sprayer attached to a garden hose place 1 Tbsp Dawn dishwashing liquid with a shotglass of bourbon, scotch, Vodka or gin for each gallon of water.  Use this to water your lawn instead of plain water.
