Garden Fertiliser for All Plants

Hello there, and welcome to my garden! A thriving, vibrant garden is one of life’s true joys, but keeping all your plants happy and healthy can feel like a bit of a juggling act. The great news is that you don’t need a different fertiliser for every single plant. A good, all-purpose garden fertiliser can work wonders for your whole patch, from your flower beds to your vegetable rows.

The Importance of a Complete Feed

I've always taught that a truly healthy plant needs a balanced diet. A good fertiliser should provide all the essential nutrients your plants need to grow. This includes the three primary macro-nutrients—Nitrogen for leafy growth, Phosphorus for root development, and Potassium for flowering and fruiting—as well as crucial micro-nutrients like Magnesium, Manganese, and Zinc.   

Many general-purpose fertilisers only provide the basics, which can lead to nutrient deficiencies over time. This is where a complete feed like LiquidGold™ Dual-Mix Super Feed really stands out. Its unique formula is a comprehensive blend of all the essential nutrients, ensuring your plants get everything they need to flourish.   

When and How to Fertilise Your Garden

I recommend feeding your garden regularly during the main growing seasons of spring and summer. The frequency will depend on your plants, but a side dressing of fertiliser every 4-6 weeks is a good general guide. I have always found a liquid feed to be incredibly effective because the nutrients are in a soluble form, meaning they are immediately available for your plants to use. You can even use it for a quick, visible boost when a plant is looking a bit stressed.   

The best time to apply fertiliser is on a moist soil bed, and you should always water it in well after application. This helps the nutrients get to the roots and prevents root burn.

Its comprehensive formulation contains an aqueous solution of Calcium, Potassium Nitrate, and a full range of essential nutrients, providing a powerful liquid feed that is suitable for almost everything in your garden, from indoor plants to lawns, trees, and shrubs.   

How to Use LiquidGold™ Dual-Mix Super Feed:

• Fill a container with 10L of water.
• Add PART A and PART B from one sachet and stir to dissolve.
• Pour the solution over the root zone of your plants, saturating the soil.   

FAQ: All-Purpose Garden Care 

What else can I do to improve my soil?

Fertiliser is only one piece of the puzzle. Adding soil conditioners like compost, sheep pellets, or blood and bone is a great way to improve the physical condition of your soil. This encourages microbial activity, attracts worms, and improves its ability to hold water, which all contribute to a healthier garden.   

How can I protect my plants from pests and diseases?

A well-nourished plant is your best defence. Regular feeding and watering will keep your plants strong and resilient, making them better able to fend off problems. You can also use a layer of mulch around your plants to help suppress weeds and conserve soil moisture.
