Vitax Q4 Fertiliser 900g

Vitax Q4 Fertiliser 900g is the all purpose pelleted feed in a small pack, sized for borders, pots and a vegetable bed or two.

One fertiliser covers roses, flowers, fruit, vegetables and new lawns, so you do not need a separate feed for each.

What Q4 feeds

• Roses and flowers
• Vegetables, tomatoes and chrysanthemums
• Fruit, including apples, pears, plums, currants, gooseberries, raspberries and strawberries
• New lawns, before sowing seed or laying turf

What is in it

Q4 is a compound fertiliser with an NPK of 5.3 : 7.5 : 10.0, plus magnesium and trace elements including iron, boron, copper and manganese. The pellets are low dust and easy to handle.

Is Vitax Q4 Fertiliser 900g the right size?

At 140g per m² for most plants, 900g covers roughly 6m² of beds at the standard rate, which suits a small garden or a top up during the season.

For a bigger garden, the Vitax Q4 Fertiliser 4.5kg lasts much longer. When planting roses, trees or shrubs, pair it with Q4 Rootmore in the planting hole.

Application rates

• Roses: 140g per m² before planting, or as a spring dressing for established bushes.
• Flowers and vegetables: 140g per m² before sowing or planting, then 70g per m² once or twice in summer for vegetables.
• Apples, pears and plums: 175g per m² before planting or in early spring.
• Tomatoes and chrysanthemums: 200g per m² before planting, then 35g per m² every 3 to 4 weeks.
• New lawns: 140g per m² before sowing or turfing.

How to apply it

Spread the pellets evenly on moist soil and lightly hoe them into the surface. In dry weather, water them in.
