Product Information

Full details

Westland Boost Slow Release Plant Food is an ideal solution for gardeners looking to minimize the frequency of fertilization while maximizing plant health. Designed for both novice and experienced horticulturists, this 4x multi-action granular formula provides a comprehensive nutrient supply for up to six months, promoting robust root development, lush foliage, and heavy blooming. While it is highly efficient, users must be careful to work the granules into the soil and water thoroughly to ensure proper nutrient uptake and prevent surface burn on delicate plant stems.

FAQs

Can I use this on indoor plants?

Yes, but be mindful of container size and adjust the dosage accordingly. It is generally better suited for outdoor containers and beds.

When is the best time to apply?

Early spring is the ideal time to apply for the full six-month benefit throughout the active summer growing season.

Do I need to fertilize again after six months?

For most annuals, one application is sufficient for the season. For very long-lasting crops, a light supplemental feed may be considered late in the season.

Is it safe for vegetable patches?

Yes, the formula is specifically designed to support heavy fruiting and lush vegetable crop development.

How should I store the leftover granules?

Store in the provided resealable tub in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight to prevent premature breakdown of the granules.

Troubleshooting

Plants show signs of leaf burn.

Ensure granules were not left in direct contact with stems or leaves; water thoroughly to wash any fertilizer off foliage and dilute it in the soil.

Fertilizer seems ineffective.

Verify that the granules were worked into the soil surface rather than just left on top, and confirm regular watering is occurring to activate the release mechanism.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces the need for frequent fertilizing sessions
  • Encourages significantly more vibrant blooms and fruiting
  • Supports plant health through root stimulation
  • Easy to apply with clear measurement instructions
  • Convenient storage solution

Cons

  • Requires manual soil working to be most effective
  • Not suitable for water-only hydroponic systems
  • Needs thorough watering after application to activate
  • Risk of plant contact if not applied carefully to the soil base

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper application is key to achieving the promised six-month feeding duration:

  1. Pots and Hanging Baskets: Use 30g per 30cm container. Mix into compost at planting or work into topsoil for established plants.
  2. Bedding Plants: Blend 20g per 10L of compost before placing plants into window boxes or tubs.
  3. Beds and Borders: Spread 50g per square meter evenly. Use a hand fork to incorporate the granules into the soil surface, then water generously.

Keep the tub tightly sealed in a cool, dry area. Avoid direct sunlight on the storage container, as heat and moisture can prematurely trigger the slow-release coating of the granules.
