Root Boost is the ultimate tree and bush planting aid, containing eighteen natural species of endo and ectomycorrhiza fungi which live on or near the roots, providing increased nutrient and water uptake through the roots. Root Boost also contains microbes for a healthier plant, supressing soil borne diseases. Bio stimulants such as Seaweed also help plants survive in stressful situations such as poor environmental conditions and poor soils. Roots Boost will give gardeners: • Increased root growth and plant vigour means greater plant survivability after planting - especially with bare root • Healthier plants from soon after planting • More efficient use of nutrients and fertiliser in soils and growing media Increased ability to survive in drought or infrequent watering • Improved long term plant health. • Can be used on majority of plant types (excluding brassicas, orchids and some acid loving plants), with either potted or bare root plants at planting. Each Roost Boost 60g pack treats 4 or 5 shrubs or rose bushes or 3 of our fruit trees. Simply apply once only at planting or transplanting, ensuring the Roots Boost granules are in close contact with plant roots to get the best and quickest effect. The fungi will colonise the soil near the roots, and live happily ever after in synergy with your new plants.
Tree fern specialists HSK have developed this specific concentrated Tree Fern Feed to get the best results from their wonderful tree fern logs. In their native habitat, tree ferns grow in dense shady wooded areas, beneath the main tree canopy. Leaves falling off trees gather in the crown of the tree fern, and mix with rain, slowly feeding the top of the log, where the new fronds emerge. This is unlikely to happen here in UK gardens, even in shady areas, so this specialist tree fern feed mimics the nutrients provided in their habitat, with a balanced feed to encourage strong frond growth. Feed every week or so in growing season (May til September), this 500ml will last a least 2 years if used as per the label. It can also be used to feed any other garden ferns in shady locations.

A brand new innovation for gardeners, these new Basket Starter Discs are a great option for easy gardening. The first time ever an easy solution for using beneficial microbes has been available for hanging baskets or tubs - and combined with fertiliser and water retaining gel in one simple to use disc. Created by the clever scientists that have pioneered Rootgrow, these discs are formed from compressed coir fibre, which binds in both beneficial biological microbes, and balanced slow release fertiliser -giving the perfect start to all hanging baskets, planters, tubs and windowboxes. Inserted at planting, when watered each disc swells to 5 times it's size, and the beneficial microbes will start to grow, bringing the compost to life and adding all the benefits of the natrual good microbes in the soil to the confines of a basket or tub. At the same time, the fertilsier is slowly released over several months, to give the perfect start to your plants. In addition, the water retaining crystals help prevent the compost from drying out by binding water in, reducing the amount of time and effort watering in summer. To use, half fill your basket or planter with compost, insert a disc and cover with a little more compost and plant as normal. Recommended doses are: Single pot to 3 litres (c. 15cm or 6' diameter) - 1 discSmall baskets and pots to 7 litres (22cm or 9') diameter - 2 discsMedium baskets and pots to 15 litres (30cm or 12' diamater - 3 discsLarge baskets and planters > 15 litres (35cm or 14'+ diameter) - 4 discs

The UK's leading mycorrhizal planting product - as endorsed by the RHS. This special formulation is designed for acid loving (ericaceous) plamts only. The completely natural way to look after the secret root system of ericaceous plants and trees, each pouch contains hundreds of thousands of naturally occurring beneficial fungi, which help protect roots from disease, and helps take up feed more effectively. Especially beneficial to get bare root plants off to a headstart, it works well for pot grown plants too -and can be used all year long. If you are planting in pots or containers, the natural biological soil bacteria are completely absent, so incoprorating Rootgrow as you plant introduces these natural benefical bacteria, which will colonise the compost, and benefit your plants for many years to come. Similarly if you are planting in poorer soils, or planting a new garden or hedge for the first time, introducing these goodies will help quicker establishment, and better fertiliser uptake in future. Tests have shown they can increase the active root area of plants by 700 times a month after planting. This helps your plants get away quicker and better, makes them, more drought tolerant, use fertiliser more efficiently, and make them more robust. And, because they are a living, evolving community, one application lasts forever.
