RocketGro new product launch: ‘Organic Approved All Purpose Fertiliser’
GTN Xtra Promotion

To compliment the growing RocketGro range of growing media products, RocketGro is launching at Glee their new Organic Fertiliser product. The product is in a granule form and is perfect for topping up nutrient levels for flower beds, pots, lawns, and older compost with a generous N:P:K of 5:3:6 and a 75+ day release.

 

RocketGro can now take customers on a journey through the season with their River Cottage favourite Seed Compost, to their best-selling Multi-Purpose 50L Compost, Liquid Feeds, Mulch, Soil Improver, and now fertiliser. All Soil Association Approved for Organic growing. With a flourish of Manure, Top Soil, Lawn & Turf Dressing, Chicken Manure and Bark, RocketGro can now provide the full suite of growing media products to Garden Centres and their customers. Their 25th product launches in 2025.

 

Managing Director Toby Thomas commented: “We are excited to launch this product into the market. The Ferts and Chems section of garden centres is far too ‘chems’ and not enough Organic. Customers want to use Organic products in their gardens, particularly when growing their own food. This easy to use granular product is user friendly, feel good, easy to understand, and a standout on the shelves with its bright colours & Organic status. 

 

"Too many so called environmentally friendly fertiliser products look and feel like bad synthetic chemicals. This product is Soil Association Approved and has a nice harmless crumbly texture to it, and no odour. Priced to sell, and an eye-catching linked sale to our best-selling Multi-Purpose 50L compost product.

 

"With the unbeatable RocketGro sustainable story behind the product, and top up deliveries at only 3 working days for this product, RocketGro will maintain their outstanding levels of service to garden centres for deliveries of this new product as we approach and move into 2026."
