Growmore

[tomuk56]

Hi all
I am unable to use my supply of farm yard manure it is full of hemlock seeds, is there a problem with using Growmore?

All the best Steve

No problem, it's a chemical fertiliser - it was used extensively during the war.

Many people prefer to use Blood, Fish and Bone (or other organic feeds) rather than chemical fertilisers - that's all.

FYM isn't a fertiliser, it's humus

Growmore isn't humus, it's a fertiliser

Where did the hemlock seeds come from?

Growmore is a bit 'Old hat' these days. It is a 7.7.7 balanced chemical fertiliser which just blitzes the soil with chemicals.

The lad in the garden centre tried selling me some this week but I don't like anything with chemicals in it so I didn't take it.

Out of a total of 11 posts on the the forum, you've managed to start 3 threads with a brand-name fertilizer in the title. That seems excessive to me. Are you spamming us?

Hi Steve Best advice I can give is - if its man-made don't use it. I just don't trust chemicals

I'm confused, everything is 'chemicals', including the air we breath, rain, soil etc.

Do you mean it is a quick release fertiliser, so the plants get a sudden hit, unlike rotted manure say, which is slow release? Or do you mean it lacks some chemicals the plant needs?

No, we mean it's synthetic, it's artificial, it's a product of the petroleum industry. It's non-green, it's not homemade, it doesn't add any good to the soil ... I could go on

Do you mean it is a quick release fertiliser

Actually, it's balanced. 7-7-7 means that each element (NP and K) is in equal amounts. It's general, it's non-specific, it's not targeted.
