Setup, Compatibility & Care
Application: Growmore is typically applied evenly over the soil surface and then lightly forked or hoed into the top layer. For specific applications:
- Vegetables & Potatoes: 200g/sqm before planting potatoes; 140g/sqm for other vegetables before sowing/planting, followed by 70g/sqm as a top dressing every 8-10 weeks.
- Flowers & Established Plants: 140g/sqm before planting; 70g/sqm as a top dressing at 8-10 week intervals.
- Shrubs & Fruit Trees: 70-140g mixed into soil during planting; 140g/sqm as a top dressing in spring.
- New Lawns: 140g/sqm forked into the top 8cm of soil.
Compatibility: Growmore is a general-purpose fertilizer and is compatible with most soil types and garden plants when used as directed. It can be used alongside soil conditioners but avoid mixing directly with other concentrated fertilizers without professional advice.
Care: Always wear gloves when handling the fertilizer and wash hands thoroughly after use. Store in a dry place, securely sealed, and out of reach of children and pets. Avoid direct contact with plant leaves and stems to prevent potential burning.
