FEEDING FRENZY
Slow-release fertilisers can be used across a wide spectrum of plants that are commonly used in many a planting scheme ; shrubs , trees , herbaceous , hedging , climbers and grasses and works just as well beneath the soil , encouraging healthy root growth and above ground too promoting leaf growth , flower production and fruit production . One application in late spring will last all growing season .
The initial meeting with your client is complete . Designs created , submitted and accepted . Plant list submitted to your supplier . Quote accepted and plants delivered to site and planted . Your client is happy with the final look and now is the time to sit back to admire the collective hard work of all involved .
There is a lot of hard work to get to this point . But your work is not yet over . What about future maintenance work to keep your design looking as good as your client anticipated ? How is your scheme going to stay in excellent condition and act as a showcase for future work potential ?
As a supplier of quality plants , we often find that the most overlooked aspect of aftercare is feeding of plants . A well-fed plant looks healthier , establishes more rapidly and is capable of fighting off pests and diseases than other less wellfed specimens thus reducing the need of unnecessary application of chemicals .
To get the best out of the plants in your scheme an application of slow-release fertiliser once a season will work wonders for flowering and fruiting plants , making all the difference between a scheme that looks good and a scheme that positively thrives .
Containing a blend of minerals and nutrients , slow-release fertilisers break down slowly over a course of time releasing a small amount of feed in the summer months when the plants are actively growing and in need of the feed . Place slow-release fertilisers around the root zone where automated watering systems are in place for best results .
A professional range of slowrelease fertilisers are available at Provender Nurseries to suit all planting applications including Rosedale Fertiliser Beds and Borders , Rosedale Fertiliser Ericaceous and Rosedale Fertiliser Treeplanter . All are formulated to blends that we use on site in our cash and carry and production sites .
Factor in the price of a fertiliser when quoting for plants as all concerned will benefit in the long run . Indeed , spending money on a well-balanced professional blend will in fact save money in the end .
