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.

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.
