Fertilisation & mowing

Feeding And Fertilisation Plan

To preserve your bulbs, it is very important to provide them with food. JUB has therefore further expanded the service. It is now also possible to carry out feeding in Autumn and Spring with our specially selected biological bulb fertiliser. This is the same fertiliser which we use for our own cultivation at our nursery.

In Autumn, the fertiliser is given simultaneously with the mechanical planting of bulbs in grass via a device installed on the planting machine.

An environmentally friendly organic food can be used in Spring. The organic component in this fertiliser is converted into humus by soil organisms.

When using naturalising bulbs in grass areas, a commonly accepted guideline is that mowing can be started an average of six to eight weeks after flowering.

This will allow the bulbs enough time to produce seeds and die back naturally. An exception to this rule is the allium, which can be mown directly after flowering. The foliage of most alliums has already died back before flowering.
