I called again today as I checked the JDL website and for some reason I can't view individual products or prices. I was then directed to call the 1-800 which I did. I got redirected to a JDL 30 miles away, but then she wasn't able to find out why I couldn't get that info from the website, but when she asked what I was looking for she said there is a 40-0-0 but not polyplus, but it is slow release. She didn't give me a sku# but has anyone heard of it or tried it? She gave me a price of $36.60 for 50#. I'm just shaking my head the local JDL never recommended this even though it is in stock there and common sense would say this is the closest product to the 39-0-0 yet they tried to steer me towards 13-2-13... Who do they hire to work these places?

Thanks for the Horticultural Myths link, I have saved it for more thorough reading.. I can get alfalfa pellets and just scatter them, and then turn the hose on them and later use my hand cultivator to scratch them into the mulch, they seem to break down prety fast, and I do this when I can no longer see the remains of the last scattering....I also scatter Milorganite and Black Hen and Black Cow, and mulch, so it all becomes a mush of stuff.....I have used Fish Meal also, but can no longer obtain it so have switched to Fish Emulsion, and think I will pour some in a large pail of water and throw it around the beds.... I have a problem with Rheumatoid Arthritis so have to limit the labor involved, seeking the easiest path.... sally

That's exactly what I was seeing. I am now keeping the plants dry, and only spot watering the pots. Since the horrible heat and humidity have subsided, the plants have gotten better. I have been saving the seeds that appeared ok from my damaged peppers tho.

I haven't found any problems at all with IE7 either, XPSP2 here. My many bookmarks were all there, unchanged. I did get a warning for the first couple of months that it was not compatible with my Quickbooks program (this was after I'd taken steps to make changes at my bank so my computer with new browser was recognized online), but I double checked payroll, invoicing by hand and all was fine. After about 8 weeks, Quickbooks came up with a patch so that I no longer get the warning that I should reinstall IE6. (the warning prompt I find now is that Vista will not be compatible with my accounting program, 2 years old and $400 - will be waiting on that one:))
