Should I fertilise my garden in a Canberra Winter?

At Professional Plant Supplies we recommend fertilising in Spring and Autumn. In Winter there is little point as the soil is too cold for the plants to take up the nutrients.

The ideal fertiliser regime would be to use a slow release granular fertiliser in early Spring and again in early Autumn. This combined with a liquid seaweed extract fertiliser (or similar) used at least once a  month through the growing season will give best results for the plants. This also prevents wastage of the fertiliser washing through the soil profile without uptake in winter.
