A living green roof will encourage wildlife, filter pollutants from the air, insulate a building against heat and cold and blend a structure into the surrounding landscape. It does all of these things are far better when the plants are well fed, healthy and full of vitality.
Because the plants on a green roof don’t have access to soil nutrients, it’s vital that they are fed at least once a year with a slow-release fertiliser suitable for the plant species concerned.
If your roof was constructed using Enviromat sedum matting, now is the ideal time to apply Nutrifusion spring/summer formulation at the rate of 20 grams per square metre.
While you’re on the roof, take the opportunity to unblock drains and gutters, remove any fallen leaves or rubbish and weed out any tree seedlings.
Nutrifusion spring/summer formulation can be ordered online at http://www.enviromat.co.uk/buy_online.php/
