Vitax Q4 is good hoed in around the border. I done this at the tail end of last year and my Primulas are the first to have mounds of flowers since.

I use chicken manure fertiliser - it's sold in sacks labelled 6X. Pongs a bit (especially when wet) but is strong stuff and you only need to scatter a handful and gently fork it in. I have a big garden and use no more than 3 sacks for the whole lot. It can be difficult to find a supplier but my Notcutts Garden Centre sell it

Blood, fish and bone is also good.

You can also lightly dig in compost or composted bark

Be careful with fish bone and blood if you have a dog. Its like providing a "dig it yourself" picnic !

I use a Multi Purpose Flower Feed In Pellet form for its slow release of Nutrients. I Hoe It into Soil around Flowers/Plants In March & Again In June this gives the Plants/Flowers Energy for the Flowering/Growing Seasons :)

LOL - Henry discovered it, and kept licking it up! UGH. I have trained him to keep off the flowerbeds, but I have to hoe it in as well, as it is like a magnet to him! This seems to work.
