The 'Gardener's Tradition' universal fertiliser is a versatile mineral fertiliser enriched with magnesium, particularly suitable for small gardens, terraces, and balconies: it is ideal for both vegetable plants and roses and flowering bushes, fruit trees, small fruits, as well as flowering plants. Packaged in a 2 Kg mini-pack that is easy to store, transport, and ready to use, it comes in easy-to-spread granules. Sufficiently concentrated but without excess, it fertilises the soil without unbalancing or polluting it when used wisely and at the recommended doses.
This universal fertiliser does not come from organic matter derived from living organisms but from inert mineral matter such as certain rocks. Its formulation is as follows: NPK 8-8-12 + 3 MgO. This means that it contains:
- 8% nitrogen (N): this element contributes to developing non-reproductive above-ground parts of the plant, especially the leaves and stems.
- 8% phosphorus (P) strengthens plant resistance and contributes to root development.
- 12% potassium (K): essential for good harvests; it promotes flowering and fruit development.
- 3% magnesium or magnesium oxide (MgO) promotes the assimilation of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur. This element also intensifies the colour of flowers and foliage and the taste quality of fruits and vegetables.
Uses: from February 15th to June 15th and from August 15th to November 15th.
Incorporate into the planting soil. For regular maintenance, spread the fertiliser, preferably in the evening, so the granules absorb moisture overnight and quickly disintegrate. Lightly water the following day to dissolve the product fully and allow it to penetrate the roots. Recommended for all types of cultivation: vegetable garden, potted plants, ornamental garden, flowering or fruit trees and bushes, small fruits, bedding plants...
Dosage: planting: 40 g / m² - monthly maintenance (April to September): 40 g / m².
Plants need water, about twenty essential nutrients that they find in mineral form in the soil, carbon dioxide (CO2) present in the air, and solar energy necessary for photosynthesis. The basic elements, called macronutrients, are nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K). They must be present in the soil in significant quantities. The secondary elements, less predominant but essential, are calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), and magnesium (Mg). Finally, trace elements, necessary in very small quantities, are represented by iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), molybdenum (Mo), copper (Cu), boron (B), zinc (Zn), chlorine (Cl), sodium (Na), cobalt (Co), vanadium (V), and silicon (Si). The role of fertiliser is to compensate for soil deficiencies and provide, through optimal dosage, the elements that promote plant growth, flowering and fruit production, or the development of roots, bulbs, and tubers.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
