fertiliser
Dear all, a query
I have had my garden for 17 years, and in the early days made it nice and tidy, and when parenthood came along got into the "mow the grass now and again and forget to prune" mode that I imagine many of you have experienced ? Now, its the time to get serious again. I spent the winter hard landscaping, the early spring re turfing areas, redefining borders etc, and have now got everything in place. I am happy with the results of my work. Now, my question. Does the type of feed you use make any difference, or does using it make any diference ? One of my borders that I have left untouched (perenials) has grown and died happily for the last decade. It looks neater now, and its had some growmore and mulch, but I am unsure its made much difference to the speed or strength of the growth to date. I understand the constituent parts of fertilser, and the supposed effect on foiliage/roots/flowers, but does it make ant REAL differnce using Growmore 7-7-7, Miracle grow (bigger numbers), blood/fish/bone (lower numbers) or nothing (nothing !) I am quite addictive, and I could easily see myself knocking up my own fertiliser from consituent parts, or using straight potash etc, but dont really want to, so help me out My priority is nice flowers and full borders...not that bothered about being organic at the expense of lush borders (I have seen the scrawny carrots in tesco ), but would like to hear your views on this, as the array of boxes is enormous. |
