Ecofective Basket & Tub Feed 1.5L is a concentrated organic-based liquid plant feed developed specifically for plants growing in hanging baskets, tubs, pots and containers. Designed to support healthy growth and impressive flowering, it provides an easy way to maintain container displays throughout the growing season.

Container plants have a limited volume of compost from which to obtain nutrients. As plants establish, grow and begin flowering, the original nutrient charge in the growing medium is gradually depleted. Regular supplementary feeding therefore becomes particularly important for maintaining vigorous growth and colourful displays.

Ecofective Basket & Tub Feed provides a convenient concentrated feed for this purpose. The 1.5L bottle is designed for repeated use across patio containers, hanging baskets and other seasonal planting.

Specialist feeding for baskets, tubs & containers

Hanging baskets and patio containers can produce spectacular displays, but the restricted amount of compost around their roots means plants depend heavily on regular watering and feeding.

During active growth, a densely planted basket may contain several vigorous plants all competing for the same supply of nutrients. Once flowering begins, nutritional demand can increase further as plants simultaneously maintain foliage, produce new shoots and develop flowers.

Ecofective Basket & Tub Feed is formulated specifically with this type of container planting in mind, providing supplementary nutrition that can be incorporated easily into the normal watering routine.

Where can Ecofective Basket & Tub Feed be used?

The concentrated liquid feed is ideal for a wide variety of container-grown ornamental plants, including those planted in:

  • Hanging baskets
  • Patio pots
  • Garden tubs
  • Window boxes
  • Decorative planters
  • Seasonal bedding containers
  • Mixed flowering displays

It is particularly useful during the main growing and flowering season when established container plants may have exhausted much of the readily available nutrition originally supplied by their compost.

How to use Ecofective Basket & Tub Feed

Shake the bottle thoroughly before use. Basket & Tub Feed is a concentrated liquid plant food and should be diluted with water before application.

Measure the required amount into a watering can, add water and mix thoroughly. Apply the diluted solution around the compost and root zone as part of the plant's normal watering routine.

Follow the current instructions on the product packaging for the correct dilution rate and feeding frequency. Plant requirements can vary according to species, container size, growth rate, weather and stage of development.

Do not allow heavily planted baskets and containers to dry excessively between watering. Feeding is most effective when combined with a consistent watering programme and suitable drainage.

Maintaining productive summer displays

A healthy hanging basket or patio container needs more than occasional watering. As plants become established, regular deadheading, appropriate watering and continued nutrition all help maintain the display.

Removing spent flowers encourages many flowering plants to continue producing new blooms rather than directing energy towards seed production. At the same time, regular feeding helps replenish nutrients being used by vigorous plants.

Water requirements can rise dramatically during warm weather. Check baskets and containers frequently and adjust watering according to conditions rather than relying solely on a fixed schedule.

Ecofective Basket & Tub Feed FAQs

What is Ecofective Basket & Tub Feed?

It is a concentrated organic-based liquid plant feed designed specifically for plants growing in hanging baskets, tubs, pots and other containers.

Why do hanging baskets need regular feeding?

Basket plants grow in a restricted volume of compost. As plants become larger and begin flowering, the nutrients originally contained in the compost are gradually used, making supplementary feeding increasingly important.

Can I use Basket & Tub Feed in patio pots?

Yes. It is suitable for patio pots and other decorative containers as well as hanging baskets, tubs, window boxes and planters.

Does the feed need to be diluted?

Yes. This is a concentrated liquid feed. Dilute it with water according to the current instructions on the product packaging before applying it to plants.

Can it be used throughout the flowering season?

It is designed for regular container plant care and is particularly useful during periods of vigorous growth and flowering. Follow the manufacturer's current feeding schedule for application frequency.

What is the Greenfingers Charity contribution?

50p from the product is donated to Greenfingers Charity, which creates therapeutic garden spaces for children and families spending time in children's hospices.

How should I look after heavily planted hanging baskets?

Alongside regular feeding, check moisture levels frequently, particularly during hot or windy weather. Remove spent flowers where appropriate and make sure excess irrigation water can drain freely from the container.

How many bottles are supplied per outer case?
