Fertilizers

Often the soil in our gardens can be of poor quality, lacking in structure and nutrients. For most plants, this will not be ideal to get the best growth and a healthy plant. It is beneficial to add additional food both at the time of planting and at least annually and this can be done with natural occurring products such as Chicken Manure, Bone Meal and Fish Blood and Bone which all give a balance of food in a granule or powder form.

General purpose foods can also be used such as Miracle Gro or Phostrogen and in addition to this there are many specialist foods which are more specific to replacing certain food elements.

The other main category which needs regular food and maintenance is the lawn. There are many products which can either Feed or Weed the lawn with separate applications but the most popular for product is a granular FEED, WEED, & MOSSKILLER which can be applied in one application.

When considering what Chemical s or Feeds you require for the garden, always seek advice from the staff at Abercorn.
