Title: 6X
Post by: katynewbie on November 14, 2012, 10:04:39
Have people used it? Is it good? I am thinking of using it and wondered what experiences you have had.

Used it years ago but only to mix in with compost when potting up Tomatoes etc. Would work out very expensive to add it to a whole allotment

I used to use it, and for some weird reason really like the smell of it....sad I know!
It is a concentrated manure so you only need handfulls, so I used it for greedy feeders like squash. However, my allotment needs bulk, so I have used proper manureinstead for the past 5 years. I find the chicken manure pellets have much the same effect and are a lot cheaper!

6X do various products.  I got a  bag of  their chicken pellets from local allotment soc shop.  A handful for each brassica plant seems to do a great job.  Biggest ever cabbages I have grown.

Not sure I share your perfume preferences Debs. :toothy10:

I have been using Groworganic for a number of years its every bit as good as 6X and a lot cheeper. also goes further. I think it worked out at three bags would be the equivelant to a load of manure. As well as putting it on the soil it can also be used as a liquid feed.
