The optimal time to apply Marshalls Garden Concentrated Slow-Release Sweet Pea Feed Granules is before planting your sweet peas. Hoe the granules into the soil at this stage for maximum benefit.
Please refer to the instructions on the product packaging for the exact recommended dosage, as this can vary depending on the planting area size and soil conditions.
This feed is specifically formulated for the nutritional needs of sweet peas. While it may provide some benefit to other plants, it is optimized for sweet peas to ensure abundant blooms and healthy growth.
NPK refers to the percentage by weight of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K) in the fertilizer. In this case, it's 12% Nitrogen, 11% Phosphorus, and 18% Potassium, providing a balanced nutrient profile essential for plant growth and flowering.
The granules are designed to break down gradually in the soil, releasing nutrients over an extended period. This provides a consistent supply of food to the plants as they need it, reducing the risk of nutrient loss and the need for frequent applications.
Store the fertilizer in its original, reusable tub with the air-tight lid securely fastened. Keep it in a cool, dry location, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to maintain its effectiveness.
Trace elements are essential micronutrients that plants need in small quantities for optimal health and development. This feed includes these vital elements in addition to the main NPK nutrients.
Ensure the fertilizer was applied correctly before planting and hoed into the soil. Sweet peas also require ample water and sunlight. Check for pests or diseases that might be affecting plant health.
This can happen if the tub was not sealed properly and exposed to moisture. Ensure the lid is airtight for future storage. If the product is significantly compromised, consider replacing it.
While the ideal time is before planting, you can carefully scratch granules into the soil surface around established plants, avoiding direct contact with the stems. However, results may be less optimal than pre-planting application.
