Organic growing is all about feeding the soil (at least, it is if you want a decent result). Well-rotted manure and homemade compost both work wonders to increase the nutrients necessary for steady plant growth – but sometimes a extra dose later in the growing season (when levels are lower) provides an additional boost (especially useful when growing in containers or on light, sandy soils). Vegetable crops are the Olympic athletes of the plant world; they work beyond their natural means to provide vast quantities of delicious veg. Having food on tap that maintains their performance but doesn’t harm the soil is a godsend.

To grow well, plants need a healthy balance of nitrogen (responsible for green growth), potassium (encourages crops to fruit and boosts disease resistance) and phosphorus (assists root development). Without any, or all of these food groups, growth is stunted – yellow leaves are caused by lack of nitrogen, a scorch-like tint signals potassium deficiency, and a blue tinge is a sure sign of too little phosphorus.

Comfort food
Organic fertilisers are kinder to your soil, the environment, and can improve crop flavour. What’s more, they break down after application and improve soil structure, as well as nourish the plants. They’re safer to handle than potentially harmful chemical fertilisers, and they won’t endanger pets or wildlife either. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Garden Warehouse to offer you the chance to win one of seven complete sets of Osmo organic fertilisers. The eco-friendly range includes a variety of plant feeds, from dust-free granular formulations to concentrated liquids. They contain all the major plant nutrients together with a broad spectrum of trace elements – plus magnesium for improved flower and fruit colour Osmo’s tomato fertiliser, for example, has an NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) ratio of 5-4- 10, a slow nutrient release that lasts up to four months and helps to produce fruits which stay fresh after picking.

Complete collection
Each collection is worth around £150 and includes: 20kg (45lb) Universal plant food (indoors and out), 20kg (45lb) compost accelerator, 20kg (45lb) lawn feed, 20kg (45lb) autumn plant food, 10kg (23lb) rose food, 1kg (2lb 3oz) Stop Snail and Slug, 500ml (17fl oz) Stop Pigeon, 500g (1lb 2oz) each of Stop Cat and Stop Dog, two 1.5kg (3lb 5oz) tubs each of tomato food and container plant food and two 1l (34fl oz) tubs of Universal plant food.
