Hi Brian I think some nutrients are water soluble so leach out.Re: nutrients
Re: nutrients
Hi Steve, thanks for the thoughts on Growmore and Miracle grow I will bear it in mind, I have mostly perennial flowers in the front garden so will need to look for something specific I suppose. I do wonder about feeding afresh in the spring if I may be overdoing it considering the new soil was so fertile just a few months ago. Megs idea of a testing kit could be the way to go.Re: nutrients
Brian, I use an acidity tester only - a simple gadget with two prongs that you insert in the earth to give an acidity reading.Re: nutrients
Seems to me Brian, you've done all that is necessary to make perfect conditions for all this years new plants.Re: nutrients
Re: nutrients
Heavy rain will leach away the nutrients. I used to use soil testing kits years ago but it was quite a bit of trouble to do so. For many years now I've taken to spreading a 25kg bag of Growmore balanced fertilizer over all my garden except the lawns in early spring - it seems to do the trick as I normally get a decent crop.
