Question

I have an artichoke plant that has been producing for 4 years now - this year there are 5 plants that have regrown from the original base. is there any particular fertilizer that is best for a mature artichoke.

Answer

At this time of year, feed your artichoke(s) with EB Stone All Purpose Fertilizer. They will benefit from some additional Kelp Meal or Seaweed Extract as well. Apply a fresh mulch such as the Greenall Planting Compost and lastly, use the Greenlight Slug and Snail to control unwanted pests, including ants. Ants and artichokes don't mix. They farm debilitating aphids on artichokes.
