| Description | Charlie Carp All Purpose is one of Australia's best organically based, environmentally friendly general-purpose liquid fertiliser. This award-winning general fertiliser that can be used on all plants and shrubs, is organically based and is made from European carp, a pest that is destroying Australian waterways.
The 1 litre concentrate All Purpose Fertiliser is an economical way to get the most out of a bottle. Standard dilution rate is 10ml to 1 litre of water (1 cap full = 10ml) or alternatively if using a standard watering can (9 litres) – 90ml of concentrate into 9 litres of water.
- For the best results we recommend applying to the foliage until saturated to the point of dripping – this allows the plants to take in the nutrients immediately, and the run-off drips into the soil feeding the roots.
- Charlie Carp is best applied on its own as mixing with other products may effect performance.
- When temperatures exceed 32°C do not apply to foliage as leaf or fruit damage may be possible.
Use Charlie Carp for all plants & shrubs including: Lawns, Vegetables, Flowers, Indoor Plants, Hanging Baskets, Strawberries, Palms, Orchids, Roses, Ferns, Native Shrubs, Seedlings, Herbs.
Charlie Carp Good For Everything Your Garden Grows | Banksia integrifolia
Banksia integrifolia or ‘Coastal Banksia’ is a hardy native found down the Eastern coastline of Australia. Often seen in windswept and sculptural shapes along beach fronts, when placed in a less hostile environment, they can become quite beautiful, bushy specimen plants. They grow anywhere between 4m - 10m and 1m - 5m wide, depending on their environment. During autumn and winter their yellow flowers form into large cones, rich with nectar. These stunning flowers attract lots of bird life, particularly cockatoos and honey-eaters. Coastal Banksia is a slow grower and can handle a wide range of soil types.
10" pot size. | Coprosma repens
Fireburst is a hardy shrub with stunning variegated foliage. The colour changes from cream and pink tones during Summer, to an explosion of firey red foliage during Autumn and Winter. It has a low water requirement once established. It will tolerate coastal conditions. Prune to promote bushiness and fertilise annually with a long-term slow-release fertiliser. | Escallonia Iveyi
Escallonia Iveyi is a quick growing, evergreen plant with fragrant white flowers in summer. Ideal for hedges, borders or screening.
It is particulary hardy and will cope with coastal conditions as well as a hot, dry location, but does not cope with humidity. Frost hardy and drought tolerant once established. Plant 70cm apart for hedges and borders.
