As The summer progresses, most plants start to run out of steam and need a boost. Once they have completed that early flush of growth, they really benefit from a good feed.

Powder, granules or liquid feeds will all do a very good job and keep your plants growing, but remember - plants drink their food (they can¡¯t chew!) so water well before feeding and again afterwards to help your plants use the food you have given them.

For a quick response, use a foliar feed applied to the leaves.

The plants often respond within days, but do not overdo it or you can scorch the leaves and cause quite a bit of damage.

Rather than just a one-off feed, it is worth planning a regular pattern so your plants continue to grow evenly throughout the summer.
