It makes sense to water and feed plants at the same time. Soluble fertilizers can be applied through a hose or watering can, and are available to the plant straight away. If, on the other hand, you rarely need to water the plants, a granular, slow-release fertilizer can be applied once a year, in spring, round the base of the plant.
Hose-end Feeder
Water and feed in one go using a special feeder fitted to the end of your hose. As the water rushes through the feeder, it dilutes the plant food at the correct rate, saving you the time and effort of using a watering can to apply it.

Watering a New Shrub
To make watering new plants quicker and more effective, make a ridge of soil around each plant to form a moat when it is watered. The ridge of soil will hold the water until it soaks into the rooting zone below.

Permanent Hose
Avoid having to drag a hose down a long garden by fitting a multiple snap-lock connector part-way down the garden, such as next to the shadehouse or vegetable bed, and then using a shorter hose to do the watering.
