High potassium ratio in conjunction with the micronutrients ensures good flowering.
Considered a complete fertiliser but is recommended to be use with “Fish Fert”.
Apply mainly as a soil treatment.
Background:
Fair Dinkum Fertilizers Bloom Boom has been specially formulated to give balanced nutrition for flowing plants. It contains seaweed extract, added macronutrients (NPK), potassium humate and a range of micronutrients (trace elements).
The trace elements are in a form that are available to plants and do not get locked up in the soil. The iron is "molecularly wrapped" and as such is available even in alkaline soils (and is superior to iron EDTA in this respect).
The product is low in phosphate but high in potassium with enough nitrogen to promote moderate but healthy growth. The high level of potassium and trace elements ensure good flowering and the seaweed component enhances the longevity of the flowers, including after being cut.
Whilst primarily formulated for roses, Fair Dinkum Roses can be used on most flowering plants, but is not recommended for natives.
Whilst Bloom Boom is a complete fertiliser, it can be supplemented in late winter or early spring by one or two treatments with Fair Dinkum Fish Fert or animal manure.
The seaweed extract component is made from fresh Bull Kelp (Durvillaea potatorum) collected from the rugged North West coast of Tasmania. It is digested using a warm hydrolysis process specially developed for fresh bull kelp. The process maximizes the extraction of plant growth regulators. The extract has been extensively tested in both laboratory and in the field. It contains a number of plant growth regulators (or hormones) including auxins, cytokinins and betaines. It also contains a number of sugars and phenolics. These compounds are stable in the product and lead to increase chlorophyll production, increased root development, increased tolerance of environmental stress caused by drought, frost, insect attack and salinity and increased uptake of “locked-up” nutrients.
