Its key benefit is promoting robust growth and increased fruit production through a steady supply of tailored nutrients.

FAQs

How often should I use Vitax Organic Strawberry Feed?

Apply the diluted feed every 2-3 weeks from early spring as new growth appears, through to the end of the fruiting season.

Can I use this feed on other fruits or vegetables?

While primarily formulated for strawberries, it may provide some benefit to other fruiting plants. However, for best results, it is recommended to use feeds specifically designed for those other plants.

What is the dilution rate for the feed?

Dilute 15ml of the concentrate in 4.5 litres (1 gallon) of water.

Is this product suitable for organic gardening?

Yes, Vitax Organic Strawberry Feed is derived from natural ingredients and is suitable for use in organic gardening practices.

How should I store the product?

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is tightly sealed.

What should I do if I accidentally use too much feed?

If you suspect overfeeding, water the plants thoroughly with plain water to help dilute and wash away excess nutrients from the soil. Monitor plants for signs of stress like leaf burn.

Troubleshooting

Plants appear yellow or lack vigour

Ensure you are diluting the feed correctly (15ml per 4.5L water). Over-concentration can harm plants. Check that plants are receiving adequate sunlight and water, as feed alone cannot overcome other deficiencies.

No significant increase in fruit yield

Confirm regular application according to the recommended schedule (every 2-3 weeks during the growing season). Check for other limiting factors such as poor pollination, pests, or disease. Ensure the plants are mature enough for substantial fruiting.

Leaves show signs of burning or wilting

This may indicate overfeeding or application to dry soil. Water the plants thoroughly before applying the feed, and ensure you are using the correct dilution ratio. Avoid applying during extreme heat or drought.
