FAQs
How long does the Marshalls Garden Granular Flower Feed last?
The intelligent release system is designed to supply nutrients steadily for up to six months, depending on water and temperature conditions.
When is the best time to apply this feed?
It can be applied during planting or around existing plants. For best results, apply in spring as growth begins and water in well.
Can I use this feed on my vegetable garden?
This feed is specifically formulated for flowering plants. It is not recommended for use on vegetables, as they have different nutritional needs.
What does NPK 13-7-19 mean?
NPK represents the percentage by weight of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), and Potassium (K). This formula is balanced for promoting flower growth, with a higher potassium content to encourage more blooms.
How do I apply it to containers?
For containers, lightly fork the granules into the top layer of soil around the plants, ensuring you do not touch the plant's stem or roots directly. Water thoroughly after application.
What happens if I apply too much feed?
Over-fertilization can damage plant roots and cause leaf burn. Always follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. If you suspect over-application, water the soil thoroughly to help dilute the nutrients.
Does the feed need watering in?
Yes, it is recommended to water the feed in well after application to help activate the intelligent release system and distribute nutrients into the soil.
Troubleshooting
Plants are not flowering as expected.
Ensure the feed has been applied correctly and watered in. Check if environmental conditions (sunlight, water) are optimal for the specific plant species. The release of nutrients is dependent on water and temperature; if conditions have been consistently dry or cold, the feed may not have activated fully.
Yellowing leaves on plants.
This could indicate over-fertilization or a need for more water. Ensure you have followed the recommended application rates and water plants thoroughly after application. If symptoms persist, flush the soil with plenty of water.
Granules are not dissolving or distributing.
The release system is activated by water and temperature. Ensure the soil is moist, and the ambient temperature is suitable for nutrient release. Consistent watering will help distribute the nutrients.
