which fertiliser???

[kate&rob]

i have been given some boxes of fertiliser, sulphate of amonia, sulphate of iron and bone meal.
can someone tell me what i use these for?

The bone meal is good for building long term soil fertility and can be mixed in to grow practically anything, I’d personally not recommend the others as I don’t think they create healthy soil in the long run.

Sulphate of ammonia is a high nitro feed that's good for sprinkling around winter brassicas to give them a 'lift' at this time of year. Also if you mix sulphate of iron with the sulphate of ammonia and add it to sand (all mixed up of course) you have in effect lawn sand which can be used on the lawn to kill daisies and moss and fertilise at the same time.

Bone meal is an organic fertiliser which supplies phosphates and a small amount of slow release nitro so can be used for almost anything (apat from blueberries and other ericas etc) Just sprinkle it on the surace at roughly a handful to the square yd/Mtr.

thanks very much for that, i'll keep the bone meal and ditch the rest.
