What if I put a fertilized plant in the enclosure out of reach that he can't reach in no way. He can't breathe it in and get sick right?
ascott said:With all due respect....a plant that is native to an area does not require doctoring to grow. A plant can be grown without the use of added fertilizer--i do it here and will continue to do so.....if I want to plant a non native plant/shrub/tree I will do it and will have to add a bit more watering than a native plant...no problem, will do.
A plant can certainly grow free of initial fertilization with proper pruning and watering and most importantly, time.
ascott said:I know folks will say what they want and will believe what is convenient, however...you can tell me till you are blue in the face that fertilizer is aok for the tortoise in my care to eat and my response will be "kick rocks"...but you go right ahead and do what you do...
ascott said:The only thing that benefits from rapid plant growth is the human looking at it and again proving how impatient we are and again how we once again demand instant satisfaction....
