Sulphate of ammonia is a quick acting nitrogen fertiliser that’s used to promote leafy growth and rapid greening in plants. It is especially effective in leafy plants and vegetables such as brassicas, lettuce, spinach, rhubarb, leeks and onions, and provides a rapid boost to flowering plants, shrubs and fruits.

You can use sulphate of ammonia on a compost heap as it is a good source of nitrogen which helps accelerate the composting process by feeding the bacteria involved in decomposition.

In soil it lowers the pH balance of alkaline soils, which helps plants access nutrients.
