Spring garden fertilizing – how to give your plants a strong start

Why fertilize in spring?
After winter, plants wake up hungry. By feeding them early, you help them build strong roots, grow lush foliage, and prepare for flowering and fruiting.

What to use?
✅ Organic compost – great for soil structure
✅ Manure – best if well-rotted
✅ Mineral fertilizers – if you need a quick boost
✅ Natural options like nettle or comfrey slurry

💡 Remember:

• Always match the fertilizer to the plant’s needs (vegetables, flowers, shrubs)

• Water the soil before and after fertilizing

• Don’t overdo it – too much can harm your plants!
