Vitax Fertiliser - 5kg

The best time to apply is in early spring as growth begins, and again in early summer. It can also be incorporated into the soil before planting or used as a top dressing during the growing season.

General guidance is around 100-150g per square meter for soil preparation. For established plants, apply a smaller handful around the base, avoiding direct contact with the stem. Always refer to product packaging for specific dosage recommendations.

While primarily designed for outdoor gardens, it can be used on hardy indoor plants. However, due to the potential odor and the need for soil incorporation, it is generally more suitable for outdoor use.

Vitax Blood Fish & Bone Fertiliser is derived from natural sources (blood, fish, and bone meal), making it an organic-based fertiliser.

Thanks to its slow-release formula, the nutrients are released steadily over several weeks, providing continuous support to your plants throughout the growing season.

Light rain is beneficial as it helps to wash the nutrients into the soil. Heavy, prolonged rain might wash away some nutrients if not properly incorporated into the soil. If very heavy rain is expected immediately after application, consider waiting for a drier period or applying a little less.

You may have applied too much fertiliser. Reduce the amount applied in future applications and ensure it is well mixed into the soil or watered in thoroughly.

Ensure the fertiliser is being applied at the correct rate and frequency. Verify it is being incorporated into the soil or watered in properly, as this aids nutrient uptake. Check for other environmental factors limiting growth, such as light, water, or pests.

This is typical of organic-based fertilisers like Blood, Fish and Bone. The odor is temporary and will dissipate once the fertiliser is mixed into the soil and watered. Store the tub sealed in a well-ventilated outdoor area if possible.
