Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on my vegetable patch?

Yes, it is perfectly suited for vegetables and helps provide a balanced nutrient boost for growth.

How often should I apply it?

It is generally recommended to apply at the start of the planting season, with repeat applications possible mid-season if soil nutrient levels require replenishment.

Is this safe for pets?

While made of organic materials, the scent can be attractive to dogs. Keep the bag secured and ensure the product is worked into the soil so it is not easily accessible.

Can I use this for container plants?

Yes, but ensure you mix it thoroughly into the potting compost rather than leaving it on the surface to avoid scorching.

Does this product expire?

When kept dry and sealed, the mineral content remains effective for a long time, though it is best used within 2-3 years for optimal potency.

Should I water after application?

Yes, watering helps carry the nutrients down to the root zone and prevents surface evaporation.

Troubleshooting

Fertiliser granules are sitting on top of the soil without dissolving

Ensure the soil is moist and that you have lightly forked the granules into the earth rather than just leaving them on the surface.

Pellets have clumped together in the bag

This is often due to humidity; break up the clumps manually and store the bag in a drier location.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Derived from 100% natural and organic sources
  • Provides a steady, slow-release supply of nutrients
  • Encourages both root development and leafy growth
  • Versatile for various plant types including edibles and ornamentals
  • Easy to integrate into standard soil preparation

Cons

  • Not suitable for indoor container plants without careful mixing
  • Requires manual scattering and soil incorporation
  • Must be kept stored away from pets due to its organic scent
  • Action is gradual, not an instant fertilizer fix

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To apply, use a garden scoop or glove-protected hands to scatter the granules evenly across the soil surface. Use a hoe or hand fork to lightly incorporate the fertilizer into the top few inches of soil. For best results, water the area thoroughly after application to assist in nutrient breakdown. Store the 10kg bag in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated location, ensuring the bag is tightly sealed to prevent moisture ingress. Keep out of reach of pets, as the organic ingredients may be attractive to animals.
