Product Information
Full details
Mr Fothergill's Vegetable Plant Feed is a specialized liquid fertilizer designed for home gardeners looking to maximize the health and yield of their kitchen garden crops. By providing a balanced N:P:K ratio of 3:2:5 supplemented with seaweed and essential micronutrients, it supports robust vegetable development and improved structural stability. While it is highly effective for hungry crops, users should be careful not to over-apply, as excessive phosphorus can unintentionally inhibit the roots' ability to absorb vital nutrients from the soil.

FAQs
Can I use this on my indoor house plants?
This formula is specifically optimized for vegetable crops and their unique N:P:K requirements. It is not recommended for standard house plants.
How often should I apply this fertilizer?
For best results, use regularly throughout the growing season, following the specific dilution instructions for your crop type.
Does the seaweed component smell strong?
While it contains seaweed, it is a professional-grade formulation and does not have an overpowering odor when diluted.
Is this product organic?
It contains added seaweed and natural elements, but it is a mineral-based N:P:K fertilizer; check the label for specific certification status.
What is the primary role of the Zinc in this feed?
Zinc is a micronutrient that aids in the regulation of plant growth and the structural development of the plant, helping it stay stable as the fruit grows.
Troubleshooting
Visible white crust on soil surface after application
This is likely salt buildup from over-application; flush the soil with fresh water and reduce the concentration of the next feed.
Plants showing yellowing leaves despite regular feeding
Check the soil pH; if the pH is off, the plant cannot absorb the nutrients regardless of the feed provided. Adjust pH as necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use this feed, dilute the concentrate according to the instructions on the packaging based on the specific crop type and container size. Store the bottle in a cool, dark location away from direct sunlight and freezing temperatures to maintain the integrity of the micronutrients. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after every use to prevent evaporation or contamination. This feed is compatible with most soil-based vegetable gardening methods but should not be mixed with other high-phosphorus fertilizers to avoid potential nutrient uptake interference.
