fertilizer and weed fabric

As plant nutrients are generally soluble to differing degrees, I don't see why you can't just sprinkle the feed on top. Is the woodchip new because, as it rots down, it uses up nitrogen, so you may need a nitrogen-rich feed like dried blood to make up for the loss.

I sprinkle on my weed fabric where I grow strawberries, onions, marrows, sweetcorn etc.. and it all goes through.
