This feed is specifically formulated for ericaceous plants and may not provide the correct nutrient balance for lime-loving varieties.
For established shrubs during the peak growing season, apply the feed every 7 to 14 days.
Yes, this product is excellent for blueberries as they require acidic soil conditions to thrive and produce fruit.
While you can use tap water, hard water contains lime which can alter soil pH. Rainwater is highly recommended for best results.
Apply the feed directly to the soil base surrounding the plant to ensure the nutrients reach the root zone effectively.
Check your water source; if your tap water is hard, the high lime content may be neutralizing the feed's effectiveness. Switch to rainwater.
Ensure you are using the correct dilution ratio of 1 capful to 4.5 litres of water. Do not exceed the recommended frequency of every 7 to 14 days.
To prepare the feed, mix exactly 4 units—equivalent to one full capful—into a standard 4.5-litre watering can filled with water. Apply the solution directly to the soil at the base of the plant, ensuring the root zone is saturated without waterlogging the surrounding area. Store the concentrate in a cool, dry place out of reach of children and pets. When cleaning up after use, rinse your watering can thoroughly to prevent residue buildup, and always wash your hands after handling the concentrate.
