Thought I’d ask if anyone has any idea if I could use seaweed fert on my baby stags. I have mentioned these on here before. They are less than a 5c piece size and are mounted on popsicle sticks. They stand in a container of water so they never dry out but they don’t seem to grow either. I understand it’s winter and not to expect too much just now but they don’t get any nutrients at all and maybe they could do with something. But what?

a weak solution wouldn’t hurt. They wouldn’t need full strength eh?

I always used seaweed or liquid manure sprays on my stags and elks.

what they don’t need just runs off them anyway.

I’ve accidently had multiple concentrate spilled from the drum onto my strawberry patch.. No harm done at all, in fact that part of the strawberry patch stood out for ages. Lush green and lovely strawberries.

I don’t think you can hurt anything with seaweed.

No I didn’t think you could either, but then I’m ignorant about staghorns and elkhorns…seaweed fert would be on a par with worm wee?

I tipped some worm wee over mine, they are growing well and have new leaves, winter an all.

You’re right. I’m going to give them some when the weather turns a bit springy.

I hope you’re right about that. I’m pretty sure it’ll be ok.

Don’t really want to do the one-up-manship but our stone fruit have been in flower for a couple of weeks now RB.

Just depends on the variety really. Maybe on location partly but more the actual variety.

My almond hasn’t flowered yet and per the norm they should usually flower before most peaches apricots etc.

Technically speaking it is universally accepted that 20th July is budswell, for most deciduous imports. However there are earlier fruiting clones.
