Garden fertilisers.

Plants need fertilisers to grow well. There are two main general categories of fertilisers: organic and inorganic. Compost, mulch, and manure are some examples of organic fertilisers that are formed naturally. Chemical fertilisers are mined or man-made and can be purchased throughout gardening retail outlets.

A soil test is highly recommended before fertilisers are added to the garden.

Garden plants that require fertilisation during spring /summer are:
  • annuals
  • pot plants
  • trees and mature shrubs
  • vegetables
  • fruiting trees
Either applying organic or inorganic fertilisers, mix well into soil and follow up with watering. Avoid direct contact of chemical fertilisers with plant tissue.
