I don't use anything except well rotted manure and wood ashes around fruit plants, just in case.

Yes, I've not fed my roses this year, now we have chickens...I guess I'll let their fertiliser do it

What about using comfrey or nettles to make a stinky brew to water over things? Do you think that'd be safe enough?

If you have chickens, they probably produce all the fertiliser your garden needs!

thanks all for your replies. yes, as i thought i think the chickens do fertilise along the beds by the roses so think il let nature take its course! safer and saves me money!...result!
