Chempak Soluble Tomato Food 1 x 1kg pack
Chempak Soluble Tomato Food 1 x 1kg pack was £4.95 now £4.21
FOR ALL CHERRY & STANDARD VARIETIES A soluble food for tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, courgettes, aubergines and soft fruit, to make sure you get bigger and better quality fruit. DIRECTIONS FOR USE Tomato plants are greedy feeders, requiring a continuous supply of nourishment. Chempak Tomato Food is specifically formulated with essential nutrients, in the correct balance, for heavier cropping of top quality fruit. Added trace elements play a vital role. Magnesium aids fruit setting and keeps the foliage healthy; iron and manganese give colour, flavour and finish; calcium helps prevent Blossom End Rot. WHERE TO USE For tomatoes in the greenhouse or outdoors in pots, grow bags or soil grown. HOW TO USE Use as a liquid feed. Dissolve two level teaspoonful of Chempak Tomato Food in 10 litres (approx. two gallon) of water. Stir until dissolved. Small residues caused by hard water should be ignored. For best results thoroughly soak the soil or compost around each plant. HOW OFTEN TO USE Early feeding is recommended for the biggest crops. The rate of feeding should be increased as growth proceeds; 1st truss stage – feed weekly 2nd truss stage – feed twice weekly 3rd truss stage – feed at every watering OTHER CROPS Chempak Tomato Food is a high potash formulation which makes it ideal for other crops such as Peppers, Aubergines, Melons, Cucumbers, Courgettes, Marrows, Strawberries and soft fruit. Use at two teaspoonfuls to 10 litres (approx. two gallons) of water, once a week from first fruit set. Increase to twice a week once picking commences.

rose Bobbie James (rambler)
rose Bobbie James (rambler) £12.99
Position: full sunSoil: fertile, humus-rich, moist, well-drained soilRate of growth: fast-growing Flowering period: June to August Flower colour: creamy whiteHardiness: fully hardyThis is a beauty. In summer it produces extra large, heavy clusters of small, semi-double flowers that have a heady scent. These are followed in autumn by small, orange-red hips that look really pretty, especially in frosty weather. Because of its size, it is suitable for training through a tree, and as it is so tough and reliable it will happily compete with the trees root system once it has had a chance to become established. Alternatively just plant it where you want to cover any large or unsightly area.Garden care: Before planting shorten thick roots to 25cm (10in) and reduce top-growth to an outward-facing bud 20-30cm (8-12in) above ground-level. Plant during a frost-free spell, incorporating well-rotted organic matter and a balanced fertiliser into the planting hole. Ensure that the ‘bud union’ (the bulge at the base of the shoots) is 2.5cm (1in) below the soil.All our roses are field grown. In October/November they are dug up and potted. However, they will not produce any new roots until spring, so don’t be surprised if the compost falls away from the roots when winter planting. Some suppliers send out ‘bare root’ plants unpotted, but we don’t as it is easier to manage them on the nursery in pots.
