We know there is a wide range of different plant feeds and it can be difficult to get your head around which ones to use for which plants.

Well look no further, below we have compiled a list of different feeds and what they can be used for to get the best out of your plants.

Liquid or Solid?

There are concentrated liquid feeds or ready to use ones. The concentrated ones can be measured out following the instructions on the back, the ready to use can just be poured out around the plants.

Solid feeds – These are often little pellets or powdered. This can potentially be the easier option as you can just sprinkle it over when the plant is first planted and it will last 6 months or depending on the feed can be used throughout the flowering season

Ericaceous – This is for plants that like a more acidic soil. Azaleas, blueberries, camelias or hydrangeas for example.

Tomato Feed (Tomorite is often the most popular brand) This is a liquid feed that needs to be diluted and can be used on a lot of fruit plants, not necessarily just tomatoes. However, it can be the more expensive option.

All Rounders – Bonemeal, or blood, fish and bone are a brilliant option for something that can be used on pretty much everything (except ericaceous) These come in a solid form rather than a liquid and can be used when fertilising the soil or throughout the season. (Bonemeal can work best in acidic soil)

Of course this is just an overall bit of information and we would always recommend asking a professional if you are unsure, and always make sure you read the back of the container before using a product.
