Local Fertilisers in Newtown VIC

Uses of fertilisers

A fertiliser is any material added to the soil or applied to a plant to improve the supply of nutrients and promote plant growth. Both inorganic and organic fertilisers provide plants with the nutrients needed to grow healthy and strong. Let’s look at the uses of fertilisers:

• They can enhance the green colour in lawns and flower gardens. A nitrogen-rich lawn fertiliser can particularly be useful for making lawns green.
• They can improve the soil. Natural soil fertilisers like compost and manure can boost soil texture and fertility. For example, sandy soils can lose nutrients and water too quickly, whereas clay soils can be very dense and can lack oxygen. Adding organic fertiliser can mitigate both these problems.
• They address individual plant needs. For example, roses and bulbs may have different nutritional requirements in comparison to other perennials.
