If
you've improved your soil before planting, you
shouldn't need to use artificial garden fertiliser
- except in cases where a plant is suffering a
particular deficiency.
Using
organic garden fertiliser like manure or compost
is a better choice, as there's less chance that
you'll over feed your plants.
Did
you know that garden fertiliser use is related
to water use? Using less water means you won't
need as much fertiliser. And using less fertiliser
means there's less chance of it leaching into
our waterways and causing blue-green algae problems.
Applying
garden fertiliser
The
best time to apply garden fertiliser is just before
the start of the growing season. Make sure that
you water the ground before spreading it around.
You'll also need to water the ground again afterwards.
It's
important to remember that Australian native plants
are adapted to soils low in phosphorus. Applying
too much high-phosphate fertiliser around them
can damage or even kill them.
Please
try not to over fertilise your gardens as "run-off"
into drains and rivers adds to the dead zone ocean
problem and increase in jellyfish (for more on
