Nigel shares expert tips for nurturing your garden this spring, from the benefits of well-composted manure to the importance of liquid feeding!

• As we fully embrace spring, gardens are bursting with new growth and vibrant flowers, accompanied by the delightful scents that come with warmer weather.
• Well-composted manure, particularly a blend of cow manure and compost, is an excellent nutrient source for plants. It enriches the soil and enhances overall garden health, promoting vigorous growth.
• Applying a 50mm layer of organic mulch is crucial for retaining soil moisture, regulating temperature, suppressing weeds, and protecting beneficial worms and microbes. Additionally, it gives garden beds a tidy and attractive appearance.
• With more intense planting in gardens compared to natural settings, plants often require additional feeding to thrive. This extra nutrition is essential to meet their higher demands during the growing season.
• Liquid fertilisers, such as Powerfeed, provide quick and effective nutrition for all plants, including vegetables and native species. They contain essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and trace elements for robust growth.
• Powerfeed not only nourishes plants but also stimulates beneficial soil microbes, improves soil structure, and increases nutrient availability. A good soak with this liquid compost helps ensure both your plants and soil are healthy and thriving.
