Post Organic products?
I'm attempting to use only organic products on my new Hybris tea roses. (I have a toddler who likes to smell the flowers and a dog)
Where can I purchase (in Ottawa)

1) blood meal
2) alfalfa tea or pellets/ meal
3) seaweed solution/sea kelp
4) Dr. Earth fertilizer or Rose Tone

Thanks
Sandy

Blood meal is easy to find and is a normal stock item at our nursery. The alfalfa is more used in feed so you could check a feed store, but you may not be sure what is in there. Sea kelp as a fertilizer is not all that common either, though fish fertilizer is readily available and may do the job. They both smell rather bad, though. Dr. Earth may be a US product and not available in Canada. Not sure, though. I'd go for compost and/or manure as a fertilzier combined with blood and bone meal. Use the fish fertilizer if you want a real boost.

Keep in mind that fertilizer products like the ones you are looking for are the easiest ones to find. Keeping the bugs off with organic products will be a greater issue since many organic products are more toxic and residual than their synthetic counterparts.

Always remember that organic=safe is NOT an accurate statement!

I use Agrogreen and purchase most organic products online at greenorganic.ca, since they are based in Canada and pricing is in CDN dollars. You can click the followign link if you'd like to see what outdoor & gardening product they have: Organic Gardening & Outdoor Products

Hope that helps
