The perfect fertiliser for a range of vegetable plants. Perlka is a unique nitrogenous fertiliser manufactured from natural raw materials; coal, limestone and atmospheric nitrogen. When combined by electricity these materials form a well-proven nitrogen fertiliser. Perlka composition is 19.8% nitrogen (N) 50% lime (CaO) 1.5% magnesium (MgO) The lime in Perlka in the form of calcium oxide when in contact with water this calcium quickly turns into lime hydrate Ca(OH)2 which is strongly alkaline. The lime in Perlka is therefore extremely active and positively influences the physical, chemical and biological properties of soils, as well as improving fertility. This combined with the distinctive nitrogen in Perlka helps revitalise soils which have been heavily cropped with vegetables. Full instructions supplied on an enclosed leaflet. I have used Perlka on my land with brassicas for the past two years and I have found that the Cauliflowers are more vigorous, the resulting heads were heavier and the roots were free from any traces of club root.

SOFT AND TOP FRUIT
Perlka is an ideal fertiliser for all types of fruit. Its long cycle of nitrogen release coupled with the availability of calcium helps produce top quality healthy yields.
Allow at least 10 days between applying Perlka and seed sowing or transplanting.
Adding Phosphate and Potash fertilisers with your Perlka will give plants more vital nutrients for healthy crops.

BRASSICAS
Adding PERLKA to established Brassicas builds stronger, healthy plants. Top-dressing with Perlka when the plants are well established (3 to 4 weeks after planting) is especially beneficial if Clubroot is a problem. |
ENSURE THAT YOUR SOIL IS MOIST BUT THE LEAVES ARE DRY (AVOID DIRECT CONTACT WITH FOLIAGE) Rake in Perlka around your plants at between 50g per square metre OR 2oz per square yard
|
SECOND CROPS IN THE VEGETABLE GARDEN
REMEMBER For best effects, apply to moist soil and allow at least 10 days before repeat seeding or replanting, for a succession of luscious vegetables. |
For subsequent crops throughout the year, rake in more Perlka at 50g per square metre (OR 2oz per square yard)
|
COMPOSTING
PERLKA’s nitrogen accelerates the breakdown of plant waste.
Add more Perlka when new layers become 30cm or 12 inches deep.
