It is sometimes difficult to find the large quantities of fertilizers and chemicals needed by those of us who have lots of daylilies and other perennials to take care of. A very good source for bulk quantities of such things is Griffin Greenhouse and Nursery Supplies. Two locations in New Jersey exist: Ewing NJ (609) 530-9120 in the Princeton area and Bridgeton (856) 451-5170. Directions to both locations can be found at http://www.griffins.com.
We bought a 50# bag of Osmocote for $67, 8# of Deadline MP (enougth slug bait for 300 daylilies and 100 hostas for a whole season) for $21 and a huge bale of ProMix potting soil for $20. They also sell all kinds of insecticides, miticides, fungicides, plastic pots, etc. at wholesale prices.

One more essential supply if you have deer: Pete M. of Manatawny Creek Dayllilies swears by Milorganite to keep deer away; it's only about $10 for a 40 pound bag at Walmart.
