AusBonsai

For Sale:

1x 20lt bag Of Osmocote Slow Release fertiliser

R.R.P $105

Sell: $45

Enough slow release fertiliser to last you a lifetime! [/size]

20 kg only lasts about one year. Does this mean I am to have a very short lifetime Sid?

You might like to check the pack and post the details of which osmocote formulation you have - NPK, duration, etc. they make a whole range of formulations for different purposes.

$45 sounds like an excellent buy for someone in your area no matter what formulation it is.

G'day Shibui!

For the amount of trees I have to fertilise this bag would last me a lifetime! Im unable to use this much fertiliser regardless.

Being that YOU operate a commercial sized nursery I dont argue the fact that this amount would last YOU 12 months. I'm sure most ausbonsai folk would not use this amount in 12 months

Not too sure of the formulation as the original packaging had the weather get to it. This is a general purpose osmocote which is why I purchased it originally.
I'm not into formulation make-ups and debating fertilisers in any degree. i've used this on all types of Bonsai with no ill effects.

Cheers

just pulling your leg sid
I agree

Osmocote does go a long way and I find it is a great way to provide a background fert level even when I forget to fertilise as often as I should. I always add osmocote to the potting mix before using it which, as you point out explains why even large bags don't last me all that long

and you are correct that does not matter what the formulation is it will still do the plants a lot of good.

Still a great buy. Split it with friends, club members, use some in the garden, etc.

No interest aye guys? you can always keep buying 200gm tubs for $7.99

This will be available for the next week

Consider it sold Sidd.

Remember G.raft,

Enough slow release fertiliser to last you a lifetime!

When the bag is empty your time is up

......I'd better take it easy then

Ahh Shibui!

Good to see you have a sense of humour! A slight bit of exaggeration never goes astray
