Helpful tips
- Read instructions thoroughly before use and retain instructions label for future reference.
- Buxus (boxwood) hedging, like other hedging plants, need regular feeding; requiring nutrients to replenish those lost in trimming and pruning.
- Trimming and pruning opens up cut stems to potential infection.
- Regular feeding will keep your hedging strong and healthy so it is able to protect itself from disease and insect attack.
- Can be used as a top dressing or sprinkled into the planting hole before planting.
- Apply up to every 3 – 4 weeks in spring and autumn and less frequently in winter and summer.
- Regular application in the growing seasons gives a steady level of sufficient nutrients for the gross feeding Buxus and other hedging.
- Clear away leaf litter below plants before application.
- Where roots are likely to extend beyond the drip line (e.g. trimmed hedge), extend application to cover root tips.
- To help prevent buxus blight and other problems, keep leaf litter cleared from under plants and regularly clean cutting / trimming equipment with methylated spirit or dilute bleach.
