April to May
Get the veg beds ready
Rake 200 g per m² into the top few centimetres before you sow or plant veg, salads and annual flowers.
-
June
Second feed
Feed lawns again at 100 g per m². Side dress tomatoes with 50 to 70 g of the seaweed pellets per plant.
-
July to September
Top up every 6 to 8 weeks
Each feed lasts 6 to 8 weeks. Keep hungry crops fed through to the end of September.
How it is made
From poultry farm to pellet in County Down
Soil Worx is made at Mayobridge, near Newry in Northern Ireland, by College Group. They are a family business with over 40 years in organic processing.
The poultry manure comes from traceable UK farms. It is dried, heat treated above 70°C to kill E. coli, Salmonella and weed seeds, then pressed into pellets with no binders. Every batch is tested, and the batch number is on every bag.
500 tof pellets a week from the Mayobridge plant

Steps
- Take 100 g per m² as your guide, the lowest rate.
- Mix the pellets well into the compost before you pot up.
- Water in.
- Feed again after 6 to 8 weeks.
Feeding a new or old lawn
Work it in before turf or seed, then feed twice a year.
You will need
- A rake
- A scoop or kitchen scales to measure
Steps
- For a new lawn, rake 100 g per m² into the top 5 cm before you lay turf or sow seed.
- Water in well.
- For an established lawn, scatter 100 g per m² in March to April and again in June.
Storing pellets
Keep them dry and they keep for up to two years.
Steps
- Put the lid back on the bucket after every use.
- Store it somewhere dry. Kept dry, the pellets keep for 12 to 24 months.
- Use the same scoop each time, so every feed is the same size.
