What to use and when

Planting into clay

Canberra's heavy clay drains poorly. Dig Richgro gypsum clay breaker into the soil before planting to break it up and improve drainage.

At planting time

Water new plants in with Seasol to reduce transplant shock and help roots establish.

Feeding through the year

Use Osmocote all purpose for most plants, or Osmocote Native for natives, once or twice a year. Dynamic Lifter and PowerFeed are good for a quick boost in spring.

Pots and planters

Use a premium potting mix rather than garden soil, which compacts in pots. Use a native potting mix for natives.

Garden supply questions

Why a native fertiliser?

Many natives dislike the high phosphorus in general-purpose feeds, so a native blend is safer for grevillea, banksia and bottlebrush.

Can I add supplies to my plant order?

Yes. Supplies are delivered with your plants, and they count towards free delivery on orders over $100.
