Garden beds, vegetables, flowering annuals: For best results plants should be evenly fed during the growing season. Apply fertiliser at the rate of 20g to 50g per square metre during early Spring (Aug/Sept), Mid-Summer (Dec/Jan) and Autumn (March/ April) or as required to maintain healthy growth.  Spread evenly to the drip line of the trees. Avoid spreading closer than 10cm to the base of plants. Water in well washing off any granules that may have lodged on plant foliage.  For new garden beds treatment with RICHGRO premium BLOOD AND BONE based fertiliser PLUS prior to planting will build up organic matter and aid water retention.

Fruit and citrus trees: Apply fertiliser at the rate of 50g per square metre when tree first starts to form buds (Early Spring -Aug/Sept) and again when fruit is starting to ripen (Mid Summer – Dec/Jan). Spread evenly to the drip line of the trees. Avoid spreading closer than 10cm to the base of plants.  Water in well, washing off any granules that may have lodged on plant foliage. Dressing with RICHGRO MAGNESIUM SULPHATE (Epsom Salts) at the rate of 10g to 20g per square metre when fruit is starting to ripen helps produce sweet citrus fruit.

Shrubs, Perennials: Apply fertiliser at the rate of 50g per square metre early Spring (Aug/Sept), mid Summer (Dec/Jan) and Autumn (Feb/March) or as required to maintain healthy growth. Spread evenly to the drip line of the shrub.  Avoid spreading closer than 10cm to base of plants. Water in well washing off any granules that may have lodged on plant foliage.

As a lawn starter: Apply a light dressing (20g per square metre) prior to planting or seeding and water in well.
