With feeding your laurel hedge, I always think that Growmore is a good all round fertiliser as it is equally balanced in Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium. Ideally the fertilizer you use does not what to be to high in nitrogen as this can cause problems of to much growth especially in the autumn which causes soft growth with is unsuitable for over wintering.<\/p>\n

To feed a laurel hedge, you should use a balanced fertilizer, such as a 10-10-10 or a slow-release granular fertilizer. Spread the fertilizer evenly on the soil around the base of the hedge, taking care not to get it on the foliage. Water the hedge thoroughly after applying the fertilizer to help it soak in.
