Plant Gains Liquid Plant Food is a next-generation liquid feed developed specifically for plants grown in peat-free compost. Unlike traditional plant foods designed for peat-based growing media, this formula recognises that peat-free compost behaves differently when it comes to nutrient availability, water retention and plant uptake. Many peat-free composts naturally contain elevated levels of potassium, which can lead to nutrient imbalance, yellowing leaves and poor growth when standard feeds are used. Plant Gains Liquid Plant Food avoids this problem with a zero-potassium formulation, delivering balanced nutrition without overloading plants. Added magnesium and carefully selected trace elements support chlorophyll production, stronger growth and improved plant resilience. This liquid feed is ideal for use on flowering plants, vegetables, shrubs and container plants. It helps correct common deficiencies while supporting steady, stress-free growth. Plants fed with Plant Gains develop healthier foliage, stronger root systems and improved flowering performance.Easy to use and fast acting, the feed can be applied weekly for general feeding or with every watering for hungry plants such as tomatoes. It works in harmony with peat-free compost, helping plants perform at their best without forcing growth or causing nutrient lock-up. For gardeners transitioning to peat-free composts, Plant Gains Liquid Plant Food removes uncertainty and delivers reliable, visible results you can trust. DOSAGE RATES: Mix 2ml/litre of water, so for a 5L watering can that would be 10ml and for a 10L watering can, 20ml.Whilst the plants are growing actively, feed every 7-14 days.

Plant Gains 6-Month Feed is a long-lasting, slow-release plant fertiliser designed exclusively for use with peat-free compost. It provides balanced nutrition for up to six months from a single application, supporting healthy plant growth without the need for frequent feeding. Peat-free composts often release nutrients differently to traditional peat-based mixes, making it easy to overfeed or unbalance plants. Plant Gains 6-Month Feed is carefully formulated to address these challenges, delivering steady nutrition while avoiding excessive potassium levels. Added calcium, magnesium and trace elements help strengthen cell structure, support root development and improve overall plant health. This granular feed is ideal for use at planting time in pots, containers, raised beds and borders. Simply mix into the compost according to the label instructions and water in. Nutrients are released gradually as plants need them, reducing stress and preventing sudden growth surges. The result is stronger, healthier plants with improved foliage colour, better flowering and increased resilience to environmental stress. Because feeding is consistent, plants are less prone to nutrient deficiencies or scorch. For gardeners looking for a low-effort, high-performance feeding solution tailored to peat-free growing, Plant Gains 6-Month Feed offers simplicity, reliability and outstanding results throughout the season. DOSAGE RATES: Mix into the peat-free compost at a rate of 2-4g/litre of peat-free compost.
