Diy Root Tabs

[BenVernon]

I am looking for some plant granules so I can make some DIY root tabs for my planted aquarium. I have researched Osmocote Plus however as I am from the UK, it is very hard to get hold of. I have been looking at getting 'Miracle-Gro Continuous Release' instead. Will this be ok for a planted aquarium? What do you recommend buying?

I just use Osmocote Controlled Release Plant Food. Picked it up from the local garden centre. I actually found miracle grow in slow release form far more difficult to come by, they tend to be powder that apparently stays in the soil for a long time, hence slow release, rather than a slow release capsule thingmabob.

Is that a technical term, Rob? lol

Ok great, I've found it on eBay for a good price. I'll order it now. Thanks for your help!
