Last autumn I covered my garden in a bark chippings mulch, for frost protection, now I expect it will have take all the nitrogen out of the soil, will a 7- 7 - 7 provide enough nitrogen for general flower beds or will it need something stronger? You by Lyn

SOIL

IS SAWDUST ANY GOOD FOR PUTTING OVER YOUR GARDEN It'll add to the organic content of the soil, but it has no food value. If anything, it'll take a bit of nitrogen out of the soil as it breaks down, so it might be an idea to add a sprinkle by doris2

Fertilizers

What is a 10-40-10 fertilizer? What should I look for to buy it? The numbers are the (NPK) Percentages and should be marked on the fertilizer packets. So you require a fertilizer 10% Nitrogen - 40% Phosphorus - 10% Potassium by Villan69

What should I feed?

veg and would appreciate some advice on what to feed too? Thanks Different veg have different requirements. The key to understanding fertilisers - organic and chemical - is the NPK code that you'll see on the packaging. N = Nitrogen; P = Phosphorous by AJB

No Blossom on flowering cherry

it a potassium rich fertiliser. It sounds like the sort of symptom caused by a nitrogen rich soil. Is it in a lawn, and if so,have you been feeding the lawn? by Trish Rigby

compost and earth

. The same is true of weeds and grass cuttings. All things take nitrogen out of the soil as they break down and produce heat, neither of which would help plants grow. With clay soil you also need to add grit to help break it up - buy from a builders' merchant by steve,jo,red

potting compost

to use. Many thanks.......TGG. The nutrient balance in it can change - nitrogen, for example, can go up. Rather than throw it, or use it as mulch to improve garden soil, mix half and half with some fresh compost and use it. by TheGardenGoblin
