Notes regarding fertilisers and their uses 

SOME NOTES THAT MAY BE HELPFUL IN SELECTING FERTILISERS, ETC

Manures and composts are excellent soil conditioners but are relatively low in nutrients.

Plants take 3 major elements from the soil for growth:

  1. nitrogen (N) for leaves
  2. phosphorus (P), for roots, and
  3. potassium (K), for fruit and flowers

The following charts indicates the approximate percentage of these elements in the various fertilisers.

Organic
%N %P %K
Animal manure 0.6 0.1 0.5
Garden compost 0.5 0.3 0.8
Bone meal 3.5 20 -
Dried blood 21 - -
Fish, blood and bone 6 6 6
Hoof and horn 13 - -
Rock potash 5 8 10
Rock phosphate - 26 12
Wood ash 0.1 0.3 1
 
Inorganic
%N %P %K
Growmore 7 7 7
Potassium sulphate - - 49
Potato fertiliser 12 11 18
Rose food 5 7 10
Sulphate of ammonia 21 - -
Sulphate of potash - - 48
Superphosphate - 16 17
Tomato fertiliser 5 4 11
