Whatâs the weather like in the Lake Chapala area? How does it affect our lives here? At approx. 5,000 ft. above sea level, surrounded by mountains, and with the Lake our area has only a moderate temperature variation from month to month and season to season.
Sun Jan 29, 2012 2:35 am. Has anyone ever tried using blood meal as fertilizer for your roses? Years ago a good friend of mine gave me a few bags and it was amazing how beautiful my roses were. He worked in a meat rendering company in Montreal and this was one of the products they made from bone and fat.
You will be using the bottom of the milk jug as a pot, and the top of the soda bottle to form a greenhouse. Cut large drainage holes in the bottom of the milk jug, and fill it with moist potting media. The best cutting for most roses is a stem with a dead flower on it, with four to six sets of leaves. If possible, get the heel wood where the stem emerges from the main cane. If you cannot get a heel, cut below a leaf bud. Cut off the dead flower and remove all but two sets of leaves from your cutting.
