Spring is the perfect time to refresh your garden and prepare for a season of growth. As the days get
longer and warmer, your plants are waking up — and they’re hungry! One of the simplest and most
effective ways to nourish your garden this spring is with our fertiliser sticks, and we thought we would
explain why.

Why Fertiliser Is Essential in Spring
Soil nutrients are often depleted after winter and spring is the critical time to replenish these nutrients
to give your plants the strong start they need. Using a fertiliser early in the season promotes healthy
root development, better flowering, and overall stronger, more resilient plants.

Unlike liquid feeds that need regular reapplication, fertiliser sticks offer a slow, steady release of
nutrients right where your plants need them most — at the roots. They simplify feeding, reduce waste,
reduce water, and ensure consistent nourishment over time.
According to The RHS, early spring feeding is key for sustained garden success, particularly when
working with established plants and new plantings alike.

Our Top Tips for Preparing Your Garden This Spring

Clear winter debris: Start by removing fallen leaves, old mulch, and any plant material left over from
last season. This helps prevent the spread of pests and diseases and gives your garden a fresh,
clean start.
Feed early: As the soil begins to warm in March or April, apply fertiliser sticks like Devonia’s easy-to-
use range. Feeding early gives plants the nutrients they need to support healthy spring growth and
vibrant blooms.
Mulch after feeding: Once you’ve fertilised, top beds with a layer of organic mulch. This helps to
retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress early weed growth, making your garden
lower maintenance as the season progresses.
Prune carefully: Tidy up shrubs, fruit trees, and perennials with some thoughtful pruning. This
encourages stronger, healthier new growth and helps shape your plants for the months ahead.
Plant new arrivals: Spring is the perfect time to introduce new life into your garden—whether it’s
colourful perennials, leafy shrubs, or tasty edibles. For high-quality plants delivered directly to your
door, we recommend checking out the expertly grown selection at Golden Valley Plants.
