How to Use LiquidGold Fertiliser: Simple Steps for Best Results

Hello, and welcome! While a great garden starts with a great product, getting the best results comes from using it correctly. I've spent decades in the nursery business, and I can tell you that one of the most common mistakes people make is over-fertilising or applying a concentrated feed directly to the roots. The good news is that with LiquidGold Dual-Mix Super Feed™, it's incredibly easy to get it right. My team and I have spent over 30 years refining this product to ensure it's simple and effective. Here’s my guide to getting the best results every time.

The Simple Three-Step Process

LiquidGold is a unique dual-mix liquid feed that is designed to be highly concentrated and easy to use. The sachet contains two parts, which are mixed together to create a complete solution . Simply follow these three steps for a perfect application:

  1. Prepare your container: Begin by filling a standard 10L watering can or bucket with fresh water.
  2. Add the dual-mix: Add both PART A and PART B from one sachet to the container. Stir the solution until the powder is completely dissolved. You will have a clear, yellow-gold solution that is ready to use.
  3. Apply to the root zone: Pour the mixture over the root zone of your plants, saturating the soil. This ensures the nutrients are delivered directly to the plant's root system where they can be absorbed most effectively.

Expert Tips & Nuances

While the three-step process is simple and works for most plants, decades of experience have shown that a few small adjustments can make a big difference.

  • For Orchids: Orchids are known for their sensitive roots and do not like to be over-fertilised. To prevent 'fertiliser burn,' I recommend mixing one sachet of LiquidGold with 20L of water instead of 10L. This creates a very gentle, diluted solution that mimics how they would get nutrients in their natural environment.
  • For Lawns: For an even application on your lawn, I recommend using a watering can or a hose-on sprayer. This ensures that the entire lawn receives an even feed and avoids any patchy results.
  • Preventing Root Burn: Always pre-moisten the soil with a drink of plain water before applying any fertiliser. This prevents the roots from getting a shock and makes it easier for them to absorb the nutrients.
  • Application Timing: For your lawn, it is recommended to wait at least six hours after mowing to apply the fertiliser and to avoid mowing for at least 24 hours after application. This gives the grass time to absorb the nutrients and prevents any damage.
