Today's video is all about spring feeding for my UK tropical style garden, looking at the slow release fertilisers and soil improvers I use to easily, economically and efficiently feed my garden plants for lush and productive summer growth. I discuss using Vitax 6X natural fibrous fertiliser, chicken manure pellets and blood fish and bone before going over my three step process of feeding my exotic jungle style garden - soil improving with organic matter and manure mulches from Autumn to Spring, using slow release plant food and fertiliser in Spring then topping this up with plant-specific and high nitrogen feed for lots of leafy growth over summer. Whether you want to improve the structure, water-retention, health, or nutrient levels of your garden soil, break up clay or add goodness to sandy soil, organic matter really makes a huge difference. Later on, I talk about using slow release palm fertiliser - great for potted hardy palms and plants like Trachycarpus fortunei & wagnerianus in the ground.
Feeding a garden full of plants, even a large one, doesn't have to expensive or difficult and using feeds like these has really made getting great results easier for me. Perfect for exotics like Gunnera manicata, Dicksonia antartica tree ferns, Phyllostachys and Fargesia bamboo, Musa basjoo banana plants and more through to trees, shrubs, perennials, vegetables and summer flowers like Dahlias and Cannas. If you've got any questions about feeding your tropical style or jungle garden plants then please let me know in the comment section!
