Last weekend, I searched for and found tablet fertilizer for my pond plants. The sticker shock almost knocked me over - $15 for 60 tablets. I went ahead and bought a packet of them to get my plants off to a good start this year, but that seemed terribly expensive, especially when I started calculating the cost over the entire growing season. The packet directions indicate I should use 1-2 tablets every two weeks per pot during the next 3-4 months (while the water temps are above 70). Yikes! That could easily translate into $50+ to fertilize my pond plants this season.
Does anyone have sources for less expensive tablets? Or any alternatives to tablets; I saw where someone was using Osmocote in the cannas they are growing in their pond. I have fish, so I want to be sure to use fertilizer that won't harm them.
