At 10.6-4.4-1.7 NPK %s its pretty high in P and quite low in K for houseplants, but it's still a so-so fertilizer and a better choice than any of the fertilizers with P (the middle number) as the highest %. How you fertilize to get the most out of your plants depends on your soil and watering habits. If you water in sips, you might fertilize at low doses infrequently - like maybe every month or so. If you flush the soil regularly when you water, it would be more appropriate to fertilize more frequently at higher doses. W/o some knowledge of the type of soil you're using and some knowledge of how you water, no one can really give you any meaningful advice. It took quite a bit of looking to determine the NPK %s of the fertilizer, but I have no idea what other nutrients it contains. It's important that your plant gets all the nutrients essential to growth - do you have any information that points to its complete nutrient content? It's NPK %s indicate it would be ok for any of your plants, but for the slow growers you might want to cut back on the concentration. It's just another soluble fertilizer, cut from the same cloth as Miracle-Gro, Peters, Schultz, and others. Tell me how you water and I should be able to give you a dosage that will work. Al

hey! phoebe is 11 wks. and just in the last wk. i have recently experienced what you have. she has always only taken one breast for about 10 min. and now sometimes it is only 5 - 8 min. this scares me too because i wonder if she is getting enough but she must be because she seems satisfied. she's a booger in the late evenings though and just wants to nurse, nurse, nurse. but in the morning and daytime she will nurse and kick her legs and push her feet on anything! it's annoying because she won't lie still and nurse but i think she wants to look around at what is going on.

Bumping so allison will see this, with any luck... Sorry, been gone all day. I shop the vintage or handmade section on etsy. I've bought new pottery (jars with lids) for pets I've had cremated. Bet you weren't expecting that one! lol I thought they deserved something nicer than shiny urns that don't "go" with my decor and would be banished to a closet somewhere. Several of antique etchings (architectural and one of a horse), a pair of antelope horns, vintage salt & pepper shakers (don't laugh, only 1 pair after searching locally for something to leave on table), an antique horse harness with brass, a small handcrafted/faux deer head with metal antlers (mounted on wood - I know that one sounds weird, but it is in DS guest room and really cute 12" tall.) Okay, here's the photo from etsy...I cleaned off all the dust after it arrived. Why they hadn't before they took picture, I do not know: Also a ceramic plate (new), an old inlaid box with an dog on the top (embossed), and some old pieces of horse tack/bridle brass to group together/frame. Will go with horse etching from etsy and one I bought locally, and the harness in the laundry room. We live in a horse community and I grew up owning horses, so it's fitting. I have other things in my favorites - like transferware (old) and some pillows (new, handmade). Patty cakes, the antique store I'm referring to has mostly bars of French soaps, small candles, etc. Most of these dealers go to Atlanta market and buy this type of thing from what I overheard. fwiw, I don't buy the soap, candles either but in a pinch, I may be tempted if I needed a gift. jackie, yes. I'm talking about Hanna's. My children are 22/DD2, 24/DS and 26/DD1. When I wasn't having a #4, we got a Miniature Schnauzer and I named her Hanna. If DS had been a girl, DD2 would have been Hanna.

Yea, but I fully understand how hard she worked. Cute little fledgling yesterday. She's really very calm when we come out the door and even when we stand on the deck and talk. Heck, sometimes, we forget she's up there. I'm thrilled to have birds and even help them out. I'm just ready to get it down when she's done. I'll be watching for signs that she's done. Not before she's done. ;)
