Fertiliser in autumn

Hi
I have just bought a few shubs (weigela, hibiscus and hydrangea) and thought it would be a good idea to add farmyard manure before planting them, I was wondering if I should add some fish bone and meal fertilisers now or should I wait for the spring ?

    If you have foxes around, it's probably better to avoid it just now! They love it, so you might find your precious purchases dug up after you plant them  :/
    Ther addition of the manure, and some good compost, is plenty for them at this time of year as they're about to be dormant anyway. That'll set them up well for next year   :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
