Fertiliser Our fertiliser is a balanced mix of NPK and trace elements designed to promote strong growth of roots and foliage in trees with K for hardiness.  The special coating only releases the nutrients when the soil reaches 5 degrees centigrade, which is the same temperature that tree roots become active.  During cold spells when roots become inactive, the pores in the coating close up, ensuring minimal loss of nutrients and maximal benefit to the trees: feed the trees, not the weeds! Our Albacote fertiliser comes in 1.2kg bags which are ideal for slipping into a planting harness for ease of carriage around the hill.  Put 10g per tree underneath the root plug during planting so that the roots can easily grow towards the fertiliser and minimise run-off. Fertilising at the same time as planting reduces labour costs and the hassle of arranging a second operation.   ALBACOTE FERTILISER                     Qty           Price/Bag     p/tree                       1                 £5.50            4.6                       15+             £5.00            4.2                       105+           £4.75            3.9                       1000+         £4.50            3.75   Tubex Twin Wall Shelter Prices EcoStart & Standard EcoStart 60 EcoStart 75 Std. 60cms Std. 75cms Std. 120cms 10000+ 44 53 56 66 94 5000+ 45 54 58 70 97 2500+ 49 58 61 72 104 1000+ 51 61 63 75 107 500+ 53 64 67 79 112 300+ 65 77 78 89 136 100+ 67 80 83 97 143 EcoStart Dia. range: 57-73mm Packs of 150 (50x3)   Standard Dia. range: 73-105mm Packs of 100 (20x5)   Standard Plus   120cms 150cms 10000+   102 128 5000+   106 132 2500+   112 143 1000+   117 146 500+   123 154 300+   149 187 100+   155 194 Standard Plus Dia. range: 80-120mm Packs of 60 (12x5)  Shrubshelter   60 cms Standard 60cms Plus 75 cms Standard* 75 cms Plus* 10000+   85 117 95 128 5000+   93 131 106 143 2500+   98 140 112 152 1000+   102 144 117 157 500+   107 151 123 165 300+   130 184 149 201 100+   135 191 155 209 Standard dia. range: 130-160mm Packs of 28 (7x4)      Plus dia.range:144-200mm Packs of 35 (7x5)  * Available to order with slightly longer lead times.
