FEATURES

  • Boosted levels of iron and magnesium help prevent the common leaf yellowing sometimes seen on these plants.
  • Gypsum breaks down clay soils, provides plants with the calcium they need to strengthen their structure and boosts disease resistance
  • The natural fertilisers blood & bone and composted manure boost growth and plant health and improve soil texture and moisture holding
  • Fish extract is a natural source of nitrogen, potassium and trace elements
  • Seaweed is a natural soil and plant conditioner and tonic that improves resistance to stress and trauma and helps plants recover faster
  • Scotts Osmocote® uses advanced prill technology that ensures even and controlled nutrient release with no wastage. The organics are all derived from renewable resources

 

SUITABLE FOR

  • Can be used on most small shrubs and some natives apart from those preferring an alkaline soil
