How to use Nurserycote in the nursery.

1. Choose 4 month or 8 month release formula according to your requirement.

2. There is no need to apply Nurserycote to each pot. Just mix with your soil before potting. The rate is 4 kg per cubic metre of soil.

3. As well as Nurserycote we advise you to use 1 kg of Rock Phosphate per cubic metre of soil. Crush the Rock Phosphate to powder before mixing.

Be sure to check pH and adjust it, before adding the fertiliser to your potting mix.
