I have never seen any experimental evidence in favour of your
point.
Have you?
Practically all agriculture and horticulture are based on
applying
fertilisers once or twice per year.

Except hydroponics http://www.growell.co.uk/

I will settle for 95 to 5

Thought not :-)

OK! I can take a hint. I've watered the whole garden with fertilizer
and
didn't finish my raised bed :O)

Never mind. You'll finish it some time. {:-))
By the way, using Growmore granules is cheaper than using many of the
liquid fetilisers. It is quicker to apply and the effects last a
little longer than liquid fertilisers which are washed out of the soil
by the first serious rain.

I'll do it tomorrow - it's taking ages anyway. bricks and mortar is
much
harder work than I ever imagined. A cement mixer would help of
course!!

Anyway - I do have a question about fertilizing - I always though
(perhaps
incorrectly), that plants such as tomatoes, courgettes etc benefit
from
being fed more often when fruiting?
