Incitec Pivot Banana Special – Premium Fertilizer for Fruits & Vegetables

Incitec Pivot Banana Special 25kg: Organically Based General Purpose Fertiliser

Banana Special is a proven, organically based general purpose fertiliser from Incitec Pivot that supplies the essential nutrients plants need for healthy, vigorous growth across a wide range of garden situations. It contains organic nitrogen and phosphorus, and despite the name, it is a versatile all-round feed: it is particularly well suited to vegetables and fruit, but works just as well as a general fertiliser for lawns, shrubs and flowers. For gardeners who want one reliable, organically based product to feed most of the garden, it is a practical choice.

The organically based formulation is a big part of the appeal. It provides nutrients in a form that feeds plants steadily and supports soil health, rather than a harsh, purely synthetic hit. That makes it well suited to fruit and vegetable growing, where steady, balanced nutrition produces the best crops, while still being strong enough to green up lawns and push healthy growth in shrubs and flowering plants.

It is simple to apply as a granular fertiliser across beds, lawns, around fruit trees and shrubs, at the rates below. The 25kg bag is economical for larger gardens and regular feeding, with smaller 1kg to 4kg packs for smaller jobs.

How to Use

Spread Banana Special evenly at the rate for your plants, keeping it off foliage, then water it in well to start the nutrients working. For garden beds, apply and work it into the soil before planting, and for fruit trees and shrubs, spread it around the drip zone rather than against the trunk or stem. Water in thoroughly after applying. Always follow the rates above and the product label, and avoid over-applying, since more is not better.
