    Ready, steady, grow…

    While we did give you a comprehensive feeding programme in the August issue, this is a quick reminder to get feeding now:

    • Petunias, pansies, violas, primulas and other spring flowering annuals will continue flowering well into October if fed every two weeks with a liquid fertiliser.• Work in compost and bonemeal as well as slow-release fertilisers around summer flowering perennials which are starting to shoot and start watering them more regularly.• Feed leafy shrubs with a general fertiliser and flowering shrubs with 3:1:5 or 5:1:5 fertiliser.• Apply fertiliser around the drip line of trees and• For healthy foliage and more flowers feed outdoor pot plants with a liquid fertiliser at half strength every two weeks.
