Well, that ´s what I am doing, although I added biological longstanding fertilizer in May (the trademark you recommended are not available here, we have different others). Yes, I think, better lay it on nature.
Just was cuirious, as books usually says that this type I have (Etna) is fast growing, but this year it grew up only about 10 cm, although the leaves are very rich.

Well, that's interesting, a new variety - doesn't get as large as the basic one, said to grow around 6 inches a year, which is around 10 cm, so its doing okay, eventual height only about 8 feet. thanks for mentioning it, didn't know it existed, could be very useful indeed.

You can't -it'll grow at its own pace, according to the nutrient and water available. Too late to feed now, but you can give it a general feed in Spring with something basic like Growmore granules (do you have those there?) and just make sure you keep it well watered when its hot and dry.
