| So basically, I just add compost around my perennials to a depth of an inch or two? And I do this in the fall and again in the spring? And I sort of work it in with a fork-like implement??
I'm thinking it's lack of fertilizer that caused my peonies to send up only a few buds this year, because I certainly haven't added any. The other possible reason, I've read, is that they've become crowded (?) There are only two plants and they've been fine for the last ten years. They're about 12-15 inches apart -- can that become a problem? |
