Neutrog Bush Tucker 4kg – Native Fertiliser for Aussie Plants

Neutrog Bush Tucker is a complete, organic-based fertiliser developed specifically for Australian native plants. Its low-phosphorus formula is safe for phosphorus-sensitive varieties, including grevilleas, banksias and proteas, while providing the nitrogen, potassium, sulphur and trace elements needed for healthy growth.

The pelletised formula releases nutrients gradually and contains naturally occurring living microorganisms that support active garden soil. Bush Tucker was developed by Neutrog in consultation with native plant expert Angus Stewart and soil scientist Simon Leake.

Many Australian natives are sensitive to the higher phosphorus levels found in general-purpose garden fertilisers. Applying too much phosphorus can damage susceptible plants rather than improve their growth.

Bush Tucker contains only 0.7% phosphorus while supplying 10% nitrogen and 8% potassium. This makes it suitable for feeding a broad range of native trees, shrubs, groundcovers and flowering plants without relying on a standard high-phosphorus fertiliser.

• Total nitrogen: 10%

• Total phosphorus: 0.7%

• Total potassium: 8%

• Calcium: 1.2%

• Total sulphur: 13%

• Total iron: 0.12%

• Manganese: 0.03%

• Magnesium: 0.03%

• Zinc: 0.02%

• Copper: 0.006%

• Molybdenum: 0.0004%

• Boron: 0.0015%

The nutrients are supplied in an organic-based, nutritionally boosted formula with slow-release feeding for native plants.

Apply Bush Tucker to pre-watered soil, spread it evenly around the plant's drip line and water the area well after application.

• New plantings: Apply 50g in the base of the planting hole

• Cover fertiliser with 1 to 5cm of soil before planting

• Established plants: Apply 100g per plant

• Garden beds: Apply 100g per square metre

• Pots: Apply 30g around the outer edge of a 20cm pot

• Increase or reduce the rate according to plant and pot size

• One standard cup holds approximately 150g

Keep the pellets at least 20cm away from the plant's trunk or base. Avoid allowing fertiliser to sit directly on foliage or flowers.

Apply when new seasonal growth appears and repeat approximately every 12 weeks during the growing season, or as required.
