Folks,

I got a voucher for a local garden centre for Christmas and was going to us it to buy some stuff that I need for the plot. I was just looking at the vast array of lotions and potions that they have for applying to the soil and I was wondering what I would need.

I have Blood Fish and Bone, Epson Salts, Growmore and slug pellets on the list so far - is there anything else I should add?

Garden lime for the brassicas err ............a lot of people use seaweed feed/tonic

I always treat myself to a big bucket of chicken manure pellets and some potash (good for onions, garlic as well as fruits)

And some bags of compost to start off those seeds

Pelleted chicken poo is good stuff but like Growmore is often on various sorts of offer (not to mention different weights of contents) so may not be good value at your particular GC.

If you are concerned about using conventional slug pellets get some "organic" ones as well - you can use the former under netting or other protection and the latter out in the open.

A soluble fertiliser like Miracle Grow or Phostrogen can be useful for giving struggling plants a quick boost.

or even tomato feed if you grow them

Tomato feed is also good for all the squash family, marrows, courgettes ....
