Hi Craigphm,

I have used soluble plant food from glogrow.com on the flowers and plants in my garden. I've used it on all the flowering plants in my garden, all my plants and flowers now look very nice!!

My one tub has lasted me quite a while now, I just occasionally mix the feed in with my watering can when I water my plants.

You can buy the plant food online here: http://www.glogrow.com/home-and-garden/soluble-plant-food/glo-grow-soluble-plant-food.html

Hope this helps!

chicken manure is pretty good to and reasnably priced .

I personally use Tomorite, on my toms and flowers

I was recommended Tomorite last year for my wisterias as they did not flower and this year I had magnificent blooms so I can endorse Booboosmur recommendation. I have also had very good advice on mulching in spring also which I will follow for next year, I must go and find the advice then I will post it for you.

This is advice from Bamboo which she kindly gave me on a similar question to yours, I am sure Bamboo wont mind me sharing.

I agree with the use of Growmore - sprinkle it everywhere in spring around March and turn the soil over - repeat six weeks later if the weather has been very wet (as this year). Another way to 'feed' your plants is by feeding the soil, Marion - adding humus rich materials at least once a year increases the fertility of your soil, thus enabling your plants to get whatever nutrients they need when they need them.
