Slow release fertilizers

Hi Kathy:
Slow release fertilizers are probably not very good for bulbs. Use either a
good potato or tomato fertilizer. Bulb plants need higher potassium (K)
than nitrogen (N). Commercial bulb fertilizers and bone meal may not be
that good. Feed when the plants are in active growth. We have found that
Miracle Grow works resaonably well for bulbs too.

Kathy,
Here is a site for Apex Fertilizers,
http://apexfertilizer.com/products/… , I use Apex
14/14/14 on my plants ( Dave Conway introduced me to this product). If you
go to that link, you will see a Soil/Media Temperature release rate
tables. Hope that answers your original question on time vs. temperature.
Tom
