Plant food

I,ve never used plant food except specific rose feed and tomato feed which I put on everything that flowers, wondering if I should get a general feed or fertiliser what would be best? I also have lots of greenfly and yucky red and black fly too,  been spraying off buds with water which had some effect should it get a prepared spray of use soapy water, really want ladybirds to set them, we have a few, would like more, I only want to use organic products,any advice?

    Tomato feed is great for all flowering plants, especially if it has seaweed extracts in it.

    Soapy water is the best organic method for aphids, pretty effective too.

    grow your own ,comfrey ,nettle and use sea weed.All are free and what the bought bottles of tomatoe feed are,and all are organic and you know what goes into it.

    I've been putting tea on my acid loving plants, it must be working as my Azalea is flowering for the first time and my Camellia seems happier after looking a little 'sad'.  Other than that I have Blood Fish and Bone, Rose food and Tomato food ready for use image
