Lily fertilizer

So your using the regular old tomatoe fertilizer spikes for lillies?
How have they like it so far? Certainly tomatoe fertilizer stakes
have to be cheaper than the 10 or 12 in the bottle stuff that the
local places around here sell for $7.95
============================
Seems like all the fertilizers for pond plants are overpriced. I've been
using the cheaper Rose stakes broken into thirds for my lilies and Lotus.
Works great. :-)

Lilypons has occasional specials that are merely a bit overpriced, as
opposed to the regular price which is obscene.

Well I looked in about 8 diferent stores this weekend for tomatoe
plant fertilizer stakes and not a store carried them. But I think I
remember seeing rose stakes......... By chance I was in a Lowes that
was about 60 miles froom home today and actually found those
pre-planted water garden flower assortments, that were properly
treated. Was kind of hard to pass up Water lillys that were marked
regularly for $11.95 andnow reduced to $5. something each, especially
when they were already leaved out and were doing fine. I was not sure
about the other plants like horsetail and bog bean etc as they had no
growth on them so I left them be,
