NPK Analysis: 0-0-50
Particularly good for tomatoes by encouraging colour and to ripen fruit generally. Increases stress tolerance. Does not supply all the nutrients plants need so should usually be applied with other fertilisers containing nitrogen and phosphorus.
Application rates:
As a guide, 40-50g is about a handful.
For soil or compost: Mix in 35g over 1 sq m then dig/mix in well.
As a base dressing: Before sowing or planting apply during growing season at 45g per sq m. Work in after application.
For established plants: Apply during the growing season at a rate of 15-30g per sq m. For fruit trees apply at double the rate. Sprinkle evenly between rows of vegetables and work in.
If conditions are dry then water in thoroughly.
Do not apply as a heap at base of stem and shake off any lying on foliage.
