Orders for Mills Magic Mix, Mills Easy Feed, and other Beaty
Fertilizer Company products will be taken by calling Gary Rankin or Monica Valentovic
(304-697-0321). You can also send your order by email to Valentov@marshall.edu or Rankin@marshall.edu. Mills Magic Mix is an
excellent organic fertilizer. The components of Mills Magic Mix include:
alfalfa meal, bone meal, fish meal, sewer sludge and cottonseed meal. One
20-pound bag will feed either 30 large roses or 60 miniatures one time. It is
best to feed your roses Mills Magic Mix in the spring and give another feeding
in mid-July. Feeding two times adds organic matter to the soil and provides a
slow, non-burning feeding of your roses. Mills Magic Mix when applied in the spring
helps increase microbial activity in the soil. Each bag will cost $18.00, if he
can get an order of 50 bags. This is a big savings from the normal retail price
of $29 for one 20# bag. That is a savings of $11/bag and our cost includes
shipping provided you order through the rose society!!
He also will take orders for Mills Easy Feed liquid. This is
a complete formula that can be used to fertilize your roses and contains
magnesium and fish emulsion components. The cost of Mills Easy Feed half gallon
is $14.20 for 1/2 gallon (feeds 128 roses at a level of 1 TBSP/gallon water)
