Feeding Plants

What to do

• Feed beds and borders in the spring by spreading slow release fertiliser powder around plants.
• Vegetables will thrive if fed three times a year with a slow release fertiliser.
• Use a liquid fertiliser to keep flowers in pots healthy. Feed weekly.
• Mix controlled release fertiliser granules into compost mixes to feed container grown plants over a long period.
• Fork organic matter into soil before planting in the spring and mulch existing permanent plant displays with a thick layer of organic matter.
• If a plant appears unhealthy, use a fast-acting, quick release liquid plant food to give it a pick-me-up.
