Re: The jungle 2016

Re: Transplanted Musa Basjoo - When to Fertilize?

I don't know if its the cheapest route but I find Miracle grow the easiest. It's working pretty good for me. As Cincinnana has said prepping the hole has a much larger affect on the overall health of...

Re: Dog ate my new Basjoo!!

A knife, I try and use something big and sharp enough to cut it cleanly in one pass. A 8 inch carving knife works wonderfully if you get back into the kitchen before the wife notices ;)

Re: Dog ate my new Basjoo!!

Cut it off just below the break and keep the dog away it should do fine.

Re: The jungle 2016

Re: The jungle 2016

It's a Rhododendron of some sort. It was planted by the builder 13 years ago. It has great red flowers but they are very early in the season.
