Hi All,
I have been given a quantity of fertiliser with an NPK of 14:10:27 .
What plants, Veg, Flowers and Fruit would this be good for?
Thanks

It looks as though it is one I have used in the past, mine was a Fuchsia mix, brilliant for flowers, the N may be a bit too high for toms, as for other veg, don't know

[mumofstig]

It's the same ratio as Phostrogen All Purpose feed

The highest content is potassium (K for Kalium), followed by Nitrogen (for leafy plants), then Phosphorus (for roots). It seems more like a flower feed whether that's for ornamentals or flowering veg like toms, peas, beans etc.

Thanks what is Potassium best for?  Is it good for Onions and Squashes?

Potassium is for fruits and flowers.  Your squashes will like this mix 

I teach the kids at work about NPK by getting them to remember it as shoots, roots and fruits

So why don't they call it SRF

Any more of this nonsense and I shall dust off the NPK song for you to learn    Growster and Mrs G have the dance sorted, so full instructions on the steps can be supplied

I think we need to see the video evidence ...

Well I never saw a video, but prancing round the kitchen was mentioned   

Warning - this thread contains extreme silliness and cannot be recommended as suitable reading for proper grown-up people    That probably makes it perfick for a hot summer evening

Over to you Mr G

It's the UKs answer to the 3 Stooges or the Marks Brothers

New Shoot, Growster and GG

[Growster...]

Ha ha ha - I'd forgotten about THAT dance!

NPK, NPK, what did you do on the Patch today...

Mrs Growster's drawing of what they all do has mysteriously vanished, so I'll have to unearth the crayons for her to colour another one!

for some reason I now have an image of the three of them dressed as the Village People and the tune being
"In the Navy"

Ahem, I think - for me - there's one very good reason why that wouldn't be the case..;0)
