Have you ever heard that just digging over flowerbeds means no feeding of plants is required? I do not know the science behind this but my observations are that everytime I fork and till flowerbeds the plants look greener, bigger and produce more flowers. It may be something to do with oxygenation of subsoil but I am yet to get hold of hard scientific material. My theory is some kind of chemical reaction is going on once air is allowed to reach underneath roots. Actually, it is not necessary to dig too close to plants, just soil across beds seems to improve its condition within minutes of digging over.
UPDATE: Over the years I have been a keen advocate of fertilization of soil using allsorts: organic, chemical, seaweeds etc. but when I heard about about the forking method (with no added fertilizer required), I realised it actually works. However, I will probably dispose of rotted garden compost onto flowerbeds (even if just to get rid of it).
