Figs are fruiting! What do i feed them with?

9 years ago

Hie all i have some figs that have currently started to bear fruit (its now summer in Australia.) What do i feed them with in terms of liquid feed/granular feed? I have given them granular sulphate of potash which has a K value of 41 and applied at the recommended amount. Is there anything else i need to do or should i just leave them be and water when required?

Figs need little if any fertilizer or help. Keep base mulched and watered as needed. Figs are very easy and should thrive on neglect.
