Key Features and Specifications

This multi-purpose plant food features an equal NPK ratio, ensuring that all parts of the plant receive the correct amount of energy for balanced development. The granular formula is easy to apply and is designed to be broken down by soil moisture, releasing nutrients over several weeks. This 1.5kg box is capable of treating a significant area, making it a cost-effective solution for general garden maintenance. It is suitable for use on a wide variety of plants, including vegetables, fruits, flowers, and shrubs. The granules are dust-free and can be used as a base dressing before planting or as a top dressing for established garden features.

How to Use

For best results, apply Growmore during the spring and throughout the growing season every 4 to 6 weeks. When preparing new beds, scatter the granules over the soil and fork them in to a depth of about 10cm before planting. For established plants, sprinkle the granules evenly around the base of the plant, ensuring they do not come into direct contact with the stems or leaves to avoid scorching. Lightly hoe the fertilizer into the surface and water in thoroughly to begin the nutrient release process. For best results on lawns, ensure the granules are spread evenly to prevent patchy growth.

Advantages and Disadvantages

The primary advantage of Westland Growmore is its versatility, as it eliminates the need for multiple specialized fertilizers for different sections of the garden. Its balanced formula is tried and tested, providing consistent results for almost all garden species. A potential disadvantage is that because it is a general-purpose feed, it may not meet the highly specific needs of specialized plants like ericaceous species or extremely heavy-feeding prize vegetables. Additionally, as a granular mineral fertilizer, it requires adequate soil moisture to be effective, so it may perform more slowly during prolonged dry spells if not watered in manually.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

Can I use Growmore on my lawn?

 Yes, Growmore can be used as a general lawn fertilizer to encourage greening and root strength. However, ensure it is spread very evenly and watered in well to avoid concentrated spots that could burn the grass.

Is this safe for ericaceous plants like Rhododendrons?

 While Growmore is safe for most plants, acid-loving species often require a specialized fertilizer that helps maintain low soil pH. For those specific plants, an ericaceous-specific feed is usually a better choice.

When should I stop using Growmore for the year?

 It is generally best to stop applying nitrogen-rich fertilizers like Growmore in late summer. This prevents the plant from producing soft, new growth that could be easily damaged by the first frosts of autumn.
