Fertiliser: nutrients your soil can actually use
In a home garden most of what matters happens below the surface. If you grow tomatoes, perennials or herbs, a two-week boost is not what you need. You need a supply that carries the whole season. That is what our organic granular fertilisers with chitin are built for: they release their nutrients step by step, feed the soil life along the way and save you the constant topping up.
What chitin does in the soil
Chitin is the material insect shells and fungal cell walls are made of. Once it goes into the ground, the microorganisms that break it down get to work, and while they are at it they process the rest of the organic matter too. Your plants then reach nutrients that were already sitting in the soil, locked away. Instead of a substrate that only holds the roots in place you get a living root zone. The difference shows up most clearly in raised beds and containers, where the compost runs tired after a year or two.
A blend for every crop
Fruiting vegetables feed very differently from a summer bedding plant, so you will not find a one-size-fits-all product here. The tomato fertiliser is made for crops that carry fruit for months, the flowering plant fertiliser for perennials, bedding plants and window boxes. Alongside them sits a universal fertiliser for the vegetable patch and the herb bed, plus a version matched to the fast-draining compost in a raised bed. All of them come as free-flowing granules in a one-kilo pack: no mixing, no measuring jug, and usually enough for a full season in a home garden.
Frequently asked questions
When should I spread the fertiliser?
Work it shallowly into the soil at the start of the season, before planting, then water it in. Hungry crops such as tomatoes or squash get a second dose after six to eight weeks.
Can I overfeed my plants with it?
Granules release slowly, so the risk is far smaller than with a liquid feed. Stick to the stated amount all the same, because more fertiliser will not bring a faster harvest.
Is one kilo enough for my raised bed?
One pack usually covers one or two standard raised beds per season. For larger vegetable plots plan on two packs instead.
Fertiliser for the vegetable patch, raised bed and containers
If you grow your own food, you want to know what goes into the soil. Our fertilisers are organic granules with chitin: they release their nutrients over several weeks instead of flooding the ground once, and they wake up the microorganisms that unlock organic matter. There is a dedicated blend for tomatoes and other fruiting vegetables, one aimed at flowering perennials and window boxes, a universal feed for the vegetable patch and herb bed, and a version made for raised beds, where the compost runs out of steam faster than open garden soil. Spreading is simple: scatter the granules over the surface, work them in shallowly and water them in. No mixing, no measuring jug, no stains on the patio. Every blend comes in a one-kilo pack that usually lasts a home garden a whole season and keeps until next spring if you close it and store it dry.
