Vitax 6X 100% Natural Fertilize 15kg
Ideal for all soils, flowers, lawns, vegetables, shrubs, and trees, 6X Natural Fibrous Fertiliser is popular amongst all gardeners.
Highly concentrated, 6X Natural Fibrous is a traditional chicken fertiliser and 100% natural. Cost-effective and efficient, one sack is equivalent to six to eight sacks of farm manure.
Containing all the nutrients and trace elements that plants and crops require, the fibrous, organic content conditions the soil while it feeds the plants.
Fully composted and weed free, 6X Natural Fibrous Fertiliser only requires one application as it continues to work right through the season.
6X Natural Fibrous Fertiliser:
- Provides humus, nutrients and trace elements with a neutral pH
- Boosts garden life and encourages earthworm population
- Opens up soil to prevent water-logging if the soil is heavy, whilst if the soil is light it will help hold moisture and add bulk to stabilise it
When introducing 6X Natural Fibrous to the soil, make sure it is thoroughly mixed. Always read the instructions for exact use to achieve the best results.
Sizes available:
- 15 Kg
How to use
Always water well after application.
POT PLANTS, HANGING BASKETS AND WINDOW BOXES
Sow or plant in a mixture of compost with two teaspoonsful of 6X per 10cm (4”) pot and water well in. Established plants require occasional feeds to enhance growth.
FLOWERS
As per seed sowing, prepare bed or border with a sprinkling of 35 g/m2 (1 oz per square yard), rake or fork well in. A further sprinkling around the base of plants occasionally through the growing season will give abundant growth.
ROSES
Use two or three handfuls to each rosebush when planting, one or two handfuls for established bushes when the buds begin to swell and again before the second flush of blooms.
RHODODENDRONS, AZALEAS, CAMELLIAS AND ERICAS.
6X has no added lime making it suitable for lime haters. It can be mixed with peat and spread around established plants.
CLAY BREAKING AND SOIL CONDITIONING
A good liberal dressing of 140-200 g/m2 (4-6 oz per square yard) applied in the Autumn will help heavy clay by adding humus, and light soil to retain moisture, putting goodness back into the soil.
SEED SOWING
Prepare seed bed and sprinkle 35 g/m2 (1 oz per square yard), rake well in. When seeds are well established a further sprinkling can be applied as needed, to continue vigorous growth.
SEED TRAYS AND POTTING
One part 6X to 25 parts peat or loam mixed well in, will give plants vigorous root systems for strong healthy growth.
TRANSPLANTING
Rake in 140-170 g/m2 (4-5 oz per square yard) two weeks prior to planting. This will give plants a rich food bank to continue vigorous growth.
POT PLANTS, HANGING BASKETS AND WINDOW BOXES
Sow or plant in a mixture of compost with two teaspoonsful of 6X per 10cm (4”) pot and water well in. Established plants require occasional feeds to enhance growth.
VEGETABLES AND FRUIT
A liberal spreading of 140-170 g/m2 (4-5 oz per square yard), throughout the growing season as required, prior to rain or water well in.
LAWNS
Sprinkle 70-100 g/m2 (2-3 oz/sq yd), brush in well and water. Do this occasionally through the growing season to give your lawn a rich green sward.
COMPOSTING
Spread 200 g/m2 (6 oz per square yard) between layers of garden or kitchen waste to activate heat, thus providing a rich compost.
LIQUID FEED
Soaking a punctured bag full of 6X in water as a `teabag’ will produce a liquor ideal for greenhouse plants and for treating a larger area than using the manure in its dry form. The remaining sludge is also suitable for spreading on the soil as a mulch.
When to use:
- January - October
