FAQs

How often should I apply this fertiliser?

Application frequency depends on plant needs and soil type. Generally, apply in spring as growth begins and again in mid-summer for a nutrient boost. For lawns, an autumn application can also be beneficial.

Can I use this fertiliser on my vegetable garden?

Yes, this fertiliser is excellent for vegetable gardens as it provides essential nutrients for healthy growth and fruit production without chemicals.

Is there an odour associated with this product?

As it is derived from chicken manure, there may be a slight odour, particularly when the bag is first opened. This is typically minimal with pelleted forms and dissipates quickly after application and watering.

How much should I use per square meter?

General guidelines suggest around 50-100 grams per square meter, but always refer to the product packaging or local horticultural advice for specific recommendations based on your plants and soil conditions.

Is this product safe for pets?

While natural, it's best to keep pets away from the freshly applied fertiliser until it has been watered in and absorbed by the soil. Ingestion of large quantities may cause mild digestive upset.

Can I mix this with other fertilisers?

It can be used alongside other organic fertilisers. However, avoid mixing with synthetic fertilisers unless you are experienced, as this could lead to over-fertilisation. Always research compatibility.

What is the shelf life of the product?

When stored correctly in a dry environment, the pelleted fertiliser maintains its quality for a long time, typically several years.

Troubleshooting

Pellets appear to be clumping or soft.

This indicates exposure to moisture. Ensure the product is stored in a dry environment with the bag tightly sealed. Allow to air dry if possible, or use promptly.

Plants show signs of nutrient deficiency after application.

Check if the application rate was sufficient and if the pellets have been worked into the soil or watered in. Ensure consistent watering, as nutrients are released with moisture.

Application seems uneven.

Use a spreader for larger areas or hand-distribute carefully, ensuring a consistent layer. Break up any large clumps before spreading.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • The 20kg size may be excessive for very small gardens or occasional users.
  • As with any manure-based product, some initial odour may be present before application.

  • Nutrient release is dependent on soil conditions and moisture, may be slower than synthetic fertilisers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application: Spread the pellets evenly over the soil surface around plants, avoiding direct contact with stems or leaves. For established plants, lightly rake into the top layer of soil. For new plantings, mix a small amount into the planting hole. Always follow recommended application rates based on plant type and soil condition.

Compatibility: This fertiliser is compatible with virtually all types of plants, including vegetables, fruits, flowers, lawns, shrubs, and trees. It is suitable for use in organic gardening systems and can be used alongside other organic soil amendments. It is generally safe for use around most established plants, but caution should be exercised with seedlings or very sensitive species.

Care: Store the fertiliser in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the packaging sealed to prevent the pellets from clumping or degrading. Ensure the bag is stored off the ground to protect from moisture. While it is a natural product, it is recommended to wear gloves during application.
