What brand of plant food do you use?
Comments (14)I use Fish Emultion by Alaska 5-1-1 for nitrogen. 1/10th strength for early growth with growmore seaweed extract .1-.1-1.5 both at 1/10th strength every time I water. Once a week I use just water in case there is buildup of nutes. Water until it comes out the bottom of the pot steadily. I replace the seaweed extract with Alaska morebloom 0-10-10 for fruiting. I have a lot of wood in my soil mix and have to use nitrogen all the time because the soil mix locks up the nutriants/nitrogen as it breaks down so the plants can't use them if I don't. At budding time I use Foli Cal in 1/4 strength to promote bud set. I put Osmocote 14-14-14 in the soil mix when I first make it.I also add bonemeal and dolomite lime to my soil mixes. I'll use Epsom salts every once in a while if my plants look like the heat is getting to the leaves during summer to green them up. I don't repot for 3 or more seasons unless the plant needs a bigger pot. Osmocote is only to ensure my plants get all the goodies they need as sprouts no matter how much nutes the soil locks up.insurance. All my plants are in containers....See MoreWhere do you buy your dog food?
Comments (21)Two of our pets are on special diets for urinary tract issues, so we get their food from our vet. Our local pet supply store (Centinela) gives 10% off on Tuesdays if you are 55 or over. They have a good selection and monthly coupons, so I get the rest of the food there. You might look to see if there is something similar in your area. Petsmart and Petco aren't bad either, and often have coupons and discounts if you get their keychain card....See MoreWhat do you think of sugar in dog food?
Comments (15)Here is the ingredient list for Wellness Super5 chicken dry food. Still, it's not as good as some but it is good (for dry food). I talked extensively with a rep about the "chicken meal" and am ok with it.

Comments (26)Heh, I wish we had a dog's room! :) We have the same kind of container chemocurl linked (also not that one, but a shorter fatter variety) right now but I'm trying to figure out a better solution since that doesn't really fit in the space we have now. Plan A was to repurpose our old Simple Human trash can (since now we have a pullout trash) but I'm not sure that's air tight enough. Bonus is that we already have it, though. If you want to spend crazy amounts, SimpleHuman also makes an actual pet food can which looks pretty wonderful---the cup hides in the lid, it has an air-tight lock, and it comes in multiple sizes holding up to 40 pounds of food. But...it also costs $100+. *Sigh*...See Moresocks
