Osmocote Garden Beds 500g

FEATURES

The release of nutrients depends on temperature - more when it's warm and plants are growing and less when it's cold and growth is slow
Scotts Osmocote® uses advanced prill technology that ensures even and controlled nutrient release with no wastage
Controlled release means feeding less often and more effectively; less frequent feeding is more economical and environment-friendly
Boosted levels of iron & magnesium and other trace elements keep leaves greener for longer and promote healthy growth
Less than 2% phosphorus (the 'P' in the NPK guaranteed analysis) means it's safe to use on most Australian natives


SUITABLE FOR

Trees and shrubs (including most natives and other phosphorus-sensitive plants)
Flowering and leafy annuals, perennials, climbers and groundcovers
Vegetables, herbs and fruits
Safe to use on new plantings - the controlled release of nutrients prevents burning of tender new leaves and roots


NOT SUITABLE FOR

Do not use in hydroponic growing systems, ponds or pots submerged in water
Do not use on lawns - use only specifically named fertilisers on grassed areas

Use Garden Beds throughout the garden to promote healthy growth, beautiful flowers and generous fruiting

WHEN TO USE

When planting - mix Scotts Osmocote® into the backfill soil. Fill around the roots in the planting hole with the enriched soil and then water thoroughly to settle the soil and initiate the nutrient release
Established plants - sprinkle Scotts Osmocote® in a band around the dripline on the soil (beneath the outer perimeter of the leaf canopy) once a year and cover with mulch. This is where the feeding roots will be, not close into the trunk
