SWEET PEAS, GINGER AND HERB HELP PLEASE?
I live in temperate toowoomba 1.5 hours west of Brisbane queensland australia. We live on a small mountain range and I have 3 packets of sweet peas I forgot to plant in autumn.
I would like to know what to add to them to get the best and most abundant flowering from them?
Fertilizer use etc, is horse manure or seasol fine?
Also my herbs need to be replanted from the frost we had over winter, what is best fertilizer to use for pots?
Last question, is there a dwarf ginger available anywhere? I really need to use pots or haybales etc, due to renting and soil depth.

Hi ! Phosphorus is the best thing to promote blooms~
Mixing Bone Meal into your amended soil, and Blood Meal will add a kick of Nitrogen to
a poor soil. Please be sure to wear gloves!
Herbs- I like to use black coffee that has sat overnight, mixed with water, once every 2
weeks. ( 1 cup water to 1 cup coffee)
Alpina Japonica is a dwarf ginger, only gets a couple feet high, I have to order them online.
Happy Gardening!
