About this fertilizer
Comfrey meal, kelp and rock potash milled together into a potassium-led organic feed at 3-4-6. Fruiting crops take up far more potassium than anything else once they start cropping, and a plant short of it gives you soft, pale, disappointing fruit.
Being organic and slow releasing, it is far more forgiving in a container than a mineral feed. Pots concentrate everything, and a heavy hand with a soluble feed shows up on the leaves within days. This one simply sits there and releases as the plant needs it.
Recommended uses
- Tomatoes, chillies and cucumbers in pots or grow bags
- Squash, courgettes and beans in the ground
- Soft fruit including strawberries, currants and raspberries
- Containers where mineral feeds risk scorching
How to apply it
Application instructions
Follow these in order. The rates below are the ones we test to, and going over them will not make anything grow faster.
Mix into containers at potting
Blend 2 tablespoons per 5 gallon pot into the compost as you fill it. In a grow bag, work 1/4 cup evenly along the length before planting.
Top-dress once flowering starts
Scatter 1 tablespoon on the surface of each pot, or a handful per plant in the ground, and scratch it into the top inch. Water in and keep it clear of stems.
Repeat monthly while cropping
Feed every four weeks from first flower until picking ends. If leaves start to yellow between the veins, that is potassium excess rather than shortage, so skip the next feed.
