What is the granule size of SG5 Spring/Summer Outfield?
What is the granule size of Autumn/Winter 3-12-12 Outfield?
I have some fruit trees and shrubs which this year have not done very well at all. What can I do to get better results next year?
Fruits this year in general have been poor, due mainly to the wet weather, and not enough sunshine to ripen the fruit nicely. However, many people neglect their fruit trees when it comes to feeding them, and we would advise digging in fertiliser containing magnesium and trace elements such as Turbo Fruiter, to give them the best chance next season.

I saw some of your Ice Away product, but it seemed quite expensive, why is that?
All the benefits of Proctors Ice Away over rock salt are on the website, but when it comes to price, it’s not as expensive as you’d think. Ice Away is 5 times more effective than rock salt, so you only need a fifth of the amount. When you look at it then, it’s really no more expensive than rock salt where you need five times as much.

What can I use to remove moss in my lawn?
A popular, very effective product is Proctors Lawn Feed, Weed & Moss Killer, which does what it says. It feeds the lawn keeping it nice and healthy, while killing weeds and moss. If you have lots of moss though, I’d use Sulphate of Iron to kill the moss, and then feed the lawn. To do this, dilute 60grams of sulphate of iron in 10 litres of warm water, which should be enough to treat 18 square metres. Do a test area first, so as not to overdose. The iron will kill the moss turning it black, which can then be raked out. If you do overdose, the grass will turn black also, but it should come back within a few weeks. To keep moss at bay, use fertilisers with a small percentage of iron on a regular basis, especially in the autumn and winter months. Proctors Sports Ground SG5 is great for this.

Are there any herbicides in your products?
I've just purchased some Pony Paddock fertiliser, how long should I wait after spreading before putting my horses back in the field?
Although we recommend removing them whilst spreading, there is no time limit, so the horses can go straight back on after spreading.

How can I get an allotment?

I see your bags are bio-degradable. Will they fall apart if I don’t use all the fertilisers straight away?
No. The bags are designed to be as strong as a normal bag, but they have been produced to degrade faster once they are buried. Depending on the conditions, this could be anywhere between 5 to 8 years. This might still seem like a long time, but most bags of this size and strength take 100s of years to degrade. Our tubs are not bio-degradable, but they are made using recycled plastic, and we encourage washing and reusing them.
