I have never hoed in fertilizer to my borders, only used blood and bone as I put in shrubs or occasionally put liquid feed in my pots. I only have flowers in my garden and they seem to do perfectly well without.

If you do want to do it, early spring is as good a time as any. I don't bother either.

If you look after the soil, making sure it's fertile, then any other fertilizing is not necessary, Derek

I throw a handful of Growmore around all the plants in the garden in Spring, then the rain waters it all in and it does seem to get good results every year.
