Monty's Plant Food is a new organic liquid fertiliser and soil conditioner made with all natural ingredients.
Monty's is recommended as a supplement to your current fertiliser program. It is best applied to the seed or plant directly. We suggest taking a soil test and have a qualified independent lab analyse the samples to determine nutrient levels in your soil then following recommended applications to ensure proper nutrient levels. Always follow label directions. For a detailed application for your next crop, ph (03) 5998 9098.
