Garden much too green?
This year with new borders my plants have grown like mad but I have had far too much green leaf & too few flowers.I gather I have to add potash but in what form can I find it please ? Is there a powder or liquid I can add & when should this be done ? .The new borders were created from mixed bought topsoil & many bags of multi-purpose compost so clearly I have created an imbalance somewhere

You are probably using chemical fertilizers, which do what's happening to your plants. Try switching to organic fertilizers, they are better for not only the environment, but your plants as well. Liquid seaweed/fish emulsion does a great job for veggies and flowers. Organic lawn fertilizer, available at any garden store also does much better than chemicals.

Hi, Just adding chemicals to your soil may do more harm than good, May I suggest a soil test kit, It will tell you exactly what you need to add to the soil for perfect results. Makes sense really if you think about it. Hope this helps Dr KIA
