There are great benefits to feeding your plants now, a last minute feed will promote a great boost into winter and help them grow stronger and be more resilient in spring.

Autumn Feeding

• Autumn is the best time to plant up your garden, winter rains will help to keep your soils moist reducing water consumption.
• It's also a very important time to replant your plants and feed your garden before the winter chill sets in.
• WA soils and climate are very different so when selecting a plant food it's wise to select one designed for our environment and condition.
• When replanting prepare your soils correctly and repair root damage with Grow Potion to reduce shock and stimulate new root growth.
• Shades of Green is a unique environmentally safe plant food, taking into account the damage some highly soluble fertilisers are doing to our waterways.
• Excess nutrients leach below plants roots in sandy soils and enter our ground water or even worse wash down storm water drains and run into our rivers and that's why we are having so many river health issues.
• Shades of Green is WA's first fertilise wise accredited plant food.
• If you're eating produce from the garden, nutrient components in plant food is crucial to prevent the need for taking vitamin pills to fix your diet.
• Nutrient deficient soils need nutritional boosting to grow intensive crops, that means feeding them and providing a complex nutritional base with all the vitamins and minerals a plant needs in small quantities at the right times to get best results.
