how to feed?

Hi

My first attempt at a veg patch is going quite well - pots, garlic, carrots, lettuce, caulis, sprouts, peas, runners.

I water the bed often but should I be feeding them? if so, how and with what?

Thanks

 

This year, I'm using Vitax Q4, a pelleted fertiliser I saw being used by the staff at Barton Grange, a very classy garden centre in Lancashire. I'm using it for shrubs, veg and flowers and it seems to be having a very positive effect.

Just sprinkle on the surface of the soil at the recommended rate, hoe it in and then water as normal.

 

Cool. Never heard of it - but a great sounding name! Sounds perfect - I'll pick some up...

 

i use plainold growmore - a general purpose feed for my lotie

sprinkle and then water - very simple

i do manure some areas every year though and in the greenhouse i use tomato food liquid in a can - water first then feed

loopy

 

I just use a bog standard tomato feed in my water once a week....seems to do the trick
