Any ideas what the ideal proportion of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium
is for heaths and heathers.


Heathers, especially calluna vulgaris, naturally live on acidic
heathland, poor soil at the best of times. I had a heather garden for
twenty years, never gave them anything and they grew perfectly well.
If you must, use a natural slow-release nitrogen fertiliser such hoof
& horn and just scatter it around.
