Pretty much what BoatDrinks said. Milo, urea, or a high nitrogen (low everything else) fertilizer is not an issue. Some labs don't test nitrogen. Any good soil review will ignore your nitrogen or specifically mention it doesn't matter a jot (it varies too much due to weather conditions, time of day, and so on). For starter, 3 weeks with normal rainfall or irrigation is about the right time to wait. You could go earlier, but when quoting your test make very, very sure to mention that. Several times. Underlined.

Sounds like you've solved your own problem : ) The only ones that I have a lot of problems with are very green cuttings in water. I have better results with them in soil but still not great. How long is the cutting that you rooted horizontially? I've done it before with cuttings that were 6" and under and they do grow but I have problems when I try to cut the "log" into individual plants. I guess I could leave it be but then there would be so much growth in a single container. I wonder why you are ending up with so many mushy cuttings? Maybe it would help if you added a few drops of B1 or Superthrive to your rooting containers? Although you seem to be doing well with just potting them up. I wish I had the room to pot all my cuttings because the growth that I get in soil is much nicer then the foliage that grows in water. I usually end up cutting everything back when I pot them. Karyn

Angela12345, we would consider black & so thoughtful of you to include the link - quite a variety of RangeCraft styles! - am just having difficulty envisioning anything of the bulk apparently required. Thinking I should get busy building a cardboard mock-up, although we haven't done any demo yet so spatial volume & ceiling height of kitchen-to-be are only in our minds right now. Plenty of blue tape marking things out on the floor, though... SparklingWater, it's so helpful to get your KA experience. Our current fridge is a bottom-freezer Whirlpool that we bought in 1992, & in 20 years it has never needed a single repair. I cringe reading appliance reviews and realizing that the chances of finding that quality again are slim-to-none! Come to think of it, was just reading the resurrected toaster thread, and our Salton long-slot toaster is from 1991 (still chugging along), and our Panasonic microwave is from 1990 and has only needed 1 repair. The Whirlpool will replace the REALLY ancient fridge that previous homeowners left in our basement (changing of the back-up fridge guard); even at 20 yrs. old we expect it will result in energy savings compared to the one down there now. Guess we haven't been doing our part to keep appliance manufacturers in business up to now!
