FAQs

How often should I use this tomato feed?

The feed provides nutrients for up to 8 weeks. You can reapply the feed at the beginning of each 8-week cycle for continuous benefit throughout the growing season.

Can I use this on flowering plants?

This feed is specifically formulated for fruiting crops. While it may provide some general nutrients, it is optimized for plants that produce fruits like tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers.

What does 'concentrated' mean for this product?

It means that a small amount of the product makes a large volume of usable plant feed. One 40g sachet can be mixed to create up to 40 litres of feed.

Is the second watering step really necessary?

Yes, the second watering with fresh water is recommended to help move the nutrients down to the root zone and to prevent any residue from remaining on the plant's leaves.

How much feed does one sachet make?

One 40g sachet makes up to 40 litres of plant feed when mixed according to the instructions (one level teaspoon per 5 litres of water).

Can I mix the feed in advance?

It is best to mix the feed solution just before you intend to use it to ensure the nutrients remain active and effective.

Troubleshooting

Plants showing signs of nutrient deficiency (e.g., yellowing leaves)

Ensure you are mixing the feed at the correct ratio and applying it regularly as per the 8-week cycle. Check that the water penetrates the soil effectively.

Leaves appear scorched or burnt

This can occur if feed solution is applied too strongly or if the second, plain water rinse is omitted. Ensure a second watering with fresh water immediately after applying the feed. Avoid applying during the hottest part of the day.

Feed solution is not dissolving completely

Stir the mixture vigorously for a longer period. Ensure the water is not excessively cold, as this can sometimes make dissolving more difficult. Use lukewarm water if necessary.
