Re: Fertilisers
I live in Karachi. I want to know where I can buy Epsom Salts in Karachi. I've tried a few places and a Gardening shop near Newtown. Please be specific

Re: Fertilisers
Another thing. My plants been showing Mg def. Its probably because my soil pH is too low. How do I increase my soil pH other than the use of Dolomite Lime? Can I get a digital pH meter from Joria Bazar?

Re: Fertilisers
Specialized Rose fertlisers can be purchased from seeds shops both in Lahore and Karachi.
In Lahore Arthurs Bowers granular rose food is available in 1kg (Rs 1000) and 3 kg (Rs 2700) packing and Tomato liquid Fertliser in 1 litre bottle (Rs 1000) having NPK ratio 4:4:8 can also be used for roses as well as bulbs like amaryllis.
For roses try to get hold of any fertliser having NPK ratio 5:5:10. There is Vitax organic rose food fertliser in 0.9 kg having NPK ratio 5 :5: 8.5 packing available both in Lahore and Karachi and i believe the price is Rs 1000 or 1200 per kg.
Or you may consider making your own fertliser and i believe Brig Arif Sahib has posted notes on how to make it which can read by searching in this forum.
