    I've been giving my containers - with various flowers in - a dose of tomato feed. Is this ok, or could anyone recommend anything better for flowers please?

    Shouldn't hurt :) I just use feed I make myself from immersing weeds into a dustbin of water, smells great :)

    Ooooh, can you use any weeds? I used to do this with nettles at my old house....but new one seems to have every variety of weed known to man - except nettles. The immersion tub will be at far end of garden.......

    Hi JJ,

    That should be good, from now till the end of summer all I use is tomato food.
    What I do is use half strength more often than using the stated full dose.

    Leaves from a Comfrey plant make a good organic feed :)
