Westland’s Organic Potato & Vegetable Fertiliser, easy to apply granules give your vegetable the best possible start.
Organic Potato & Vegetable Feed – Key Details
- Can be applied directly from the pack
- Suitable for potatoes and all types of root vegetables
- Encourages strong healthy root and leaf growth
- Puts depleted nutrients back into the ground with effective soil improvement
- Slow release of nutrients to produce healthy and tasty yields
When to Apply
- Apply early in the season as a base fertiliser when preparing your vegetable beds for planting
- Apply an additional feed 3-4 weeks after planting to ensure a top quality and healthy yield
How to Use
- Spread 100gms/m² of granules (approx 2 handfuls) evenly over the bare soil and work into the soil whilst digging or using a rake, during the final preparation of vegetable beds
- Base dressing should be applied 2-3 weeks before planting your vegetables to allow the fertiliser to start working
- An additional feed (approx 50gms/m² or one handful) should be applied 4-6 weeks after emergence by sprinkling evenly along the vegetable rows, taking care not to get the fertiliser onto the leaves
When Planting in a Potato Growing Bag
- Mix 100gms of granules (approx 2 handfuls) evenly into 60 litres of compost before putting the compost into the growing bag
- Fill the bag with approximately 40 litres of compost, plant the tubers and cover with 10cm of compost
- When the shoots emerge, cover with more compost and continue earthing up the potatoes until the compost is 5cm from the top of the bag
Further Applications
Check vegetables on a weekly basis after planting, looking out for signs of yellowing or poor growth. If this occurs, apply a side dressing to ensure healthy high yielding vegetables.
After emergence, the vegetables will begin to take up the nutrients from the fertiliser as the feed slowly releases nutrients into the soil around the roots. The plants will grow strong and healthy, however they may require an additional feed after 5-6 weeks.
