    Hi . Does anybody know if I can give 10;10;20 fertiliser to hedging . Escolonia , olerea , Grisilinia , coastal types . Its been very dry and becuase oof the bad winter i think some of my established hedging needs some feed and some of my newer hedging is potted3 year olds that was set in the beginning of the summer.

    Also what should I pay for 50 KG bag . Thanx:)

    10:10:20 is a good general fertileser, however for young trees and shrubs you should be looking at a 3:1:1 ratio (10:10:20 and a generous spread of chiken manue pellets would work).

    Newley planted hedging and trees need watering in more than anything else, until they root into the soil they are prone to drying out

    I don't know to be honest, don't do landscaping anymore (fscked shoulder) and my own plot is organic.
