Almost every level I can beat without Plant Food at all, or premiums. THIS level used to be 1 out of 3 chance of survival even using every single Plant Food.. The big problem was that the Bowling Bulbs are super-nerfed since their debut and the game sometimes gives me nothing but Lily Pads.

I find what really helps is keeping all the Bowling Bulbs in the center rows, in a 3x3 pattern. This way they can utterly pound on all the zombies in the center rows, even when they are stuck with the weak teal balls. Chompers and maybe a spare Bulb is used to guard the sides; the only time a Chomper is placed in the center area is if a Surfer is about to beach and even then, it's dug up to make way for another Bulb. Using this strategy I can win 100% even on a bad-luck run, sometimes even have Plant Food left over.
