07/06/2013 at 11:24  Can anyone recommend the best home-made or
shop-bought, all-purpose fertiliser/feed for the garden? I’m
talking about something that will do a decent job for borders
AND pots. The choice of feeds and fertilisers at the garden
centre is just too bewildering. I've heard tomato feed does a
good all-round feeding job. Is this correct?  Also, are there
any plants, shrubs or flowers which definitely DO benefit from
their own specialist feed (e.g. roses)?  Looking forward to your
responses.  08/06/2013 at 02:43  An all round fertiliser would
be one containing an NPK ratio of 7:7:7 for example Growmore.
Tomato contains a higher ratio potassium specifically to help
fruit development, but this also helps with flower production.
