Do not use the granules together with chemical products.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNPK 1-1-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeem oil, infused into the granule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolcaMin zeolite, a volcanic mineral that is about 71% silica\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA natural soil wetter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1kg.\u003c\/strong\u003e A small bag for a vegetable bed, a few fruit trees or a trial area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e4.5kg.\u003c\/strong\u003e A household size for a home lawn and garden beds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20kg.\u003c\/strong\u003e The bulk bag for large lawns, turf renovation and farm use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForm: slow-release granule, 1 to 2mm, greens grade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeeds for up to 3 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePack sizes: 1kg, 4.5kg, 20kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for: lawns, gardens, fruit trees and vegetables\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: fertiliser and soil conditioner, not a pesticide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nursery Near Me","offers":[{"title":"1kg","offer_id":67607401234751,"sku":"PD-758_759","price":23.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4.5kg","offer_id":67607401267519,"sku":"PD-758_760","price":59.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20kg","offer_id":67607401300287,"sku":"PD-758_761","price":138.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2917\/5359\/files\/plant-doctor-neem-granules-slow-release-fertiliser-1-to-2mm.jpg?v=1790779905"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0691\/2917\/5359\/collections\/collection-granular-fertilisers.jpg?v=1790779896","url":"https:\/\/nurserynearme.com.au\/collections\/granular-fertilisers.oembed","provider":"Nursery Near Me","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
