Do you feed your snowdrops?

I've just started feeding my snowdrops with liquid tomato food and was wondering what you do?
Slow release, leaf mould, bone meal, liquid feed, foliar feed ....

Fish, blood & bone over all the beds as they start to appear & again after flowering.
In a dry year I feed small clumps/lattice pots with tomorite or miracle grow and anything in pots, chips etc get the same.

I have to say Richard it certainly works! Most of your snowdrops had large flowers and looked very healthy!

Potted ones yes. They get bonemeal when repotted and then a liquid feed after flowering. Ones in the garden tend to be left to their own devices.

Blood Fish and Bone, and a handful of pelleted chicken manure scattered over the beds.
