In the past the most commonly used fertiliser has been added to the soil via either a granule or liquid, however, new research and studies over the last few years have shown there may be a better way! Foliar fertilisers are a popular choice among gardeners and farmers because they offer a number of benefits over traditional soil-based fertilisers and have been found to be the best fertiliser for lawns, dahlias, peonies and the general garden.
What are foliar fertilisers?
Foliar fertilisers are liquid fertilisers, designed and developed to be sprayed onto the leaf of a plant in order for the plant to absorb it directly through the leaf as opposed to through the roots via the soil. This is done by creating mixes using nutrients in differing forms that can break down in such a way they are easily and readily absorbed and quickly used by the plant.
Foliar fertilisers are the best fertiliser for creating lush and healthy plants anytime of the year
One of the key advantages of foliar fertilisers is that they can be applied at any time, regardless of the weather or the season. This means that gardeners and farmers can use foliar fertilisers to provide their plants with the nutrients they need, even during times when soil-based fertilisers would be less effective. For example, during periods of drought, when the soil is dry and hard, foliar fertilisers can still be applied to the leaves of plants, where they will be absorbed and provide the plants with the nutrients they need to survive.
Another advantage of foliar fertilisers is that they are highly efficient. Because they are applied directly to the leaves of plants, they can be absorbed quickly and easily, allowing the plants to access the nutrients they need without having to rely on the soil. This makes foliar fertilisers a great choice for plants that are growing in nutrient-poor soils, or for plants that are experiencing nutrient deficiencies.
Foliar fertilisers are easy to use
In addition to their efficiency and versatility, foliar fertilisers are also relatively easy to use. Most foliar fertilisers are applied using a sprayer, which allows gardeners and farmers to evenly distribute the fertiliser over the leaves of their plants. This makes it easy to provide plants with the nutrients they need, without having to worry about over- or under-fertilising.
Green Fingers Foliar Fertiliser can help boost your Dahlias, Peonies, Lawn, and Garden
As different plants have quite different nutrient requirements, Green Fingers researched and developed different fertilisers which can help boost your favourite plants in a variety of ways. Unlike soil-based fertilisers, which need to be worked into the ground and can take weeks to become effective, foliar fertilisers can be applied directly to the leaves of plants, where they are quickly absorbed and can start providing nutrients almost immediately. This makes foliar fertilisers an excellent option for plants that are experiencing stress or nutrient deficiencies, as they can provide a quick and effective solution.
