    Hi Everyone,

    We're about to get 3 days of rain. I'm being lazy :snooze: and thinking of simply sprinkling a soluble fertiliser around the base my cherry laurels and letting the rain take it down to the roots.

    Any one see any problems with this approach - or should I just stop being lazy and dissolve the feed in a watering can and then apply.

    Thanks,
    Chris

      sounds fine to me to have a sprinkle around the base of plants and let the weather do the rest.

        Thank goodness for that - I've just done it :blue thumb:.

        I purchased another water butt a couple of days ago - it's now linked up to the one I already had and ready to go. I knew I should have purchased 2 when they were 5 pounds each from the Tesco website :doh:.
