Feed your plants                   

Do you like to eat? Well, your plants do, too. Proper use of fertilizers is an essential part of summertime growing, especially in this part of the country. In our region, to achieve best results from the soil, you’ve got to add nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium—the three things your plants love best to eat.

Have you ever seen a bag of fertilizer and wondered what the numbers mean? Some say 14-14-14 or 15-30-15, but no matter what the numbers are, I want you to think of them as hamburgers. The higher the number, the more hamburgers it is for your plants. Those are the N-P-K numbers (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium). Different kinds of plants need different ratios of hamburgers to thrive. For example, vegetables need the middle number to be highest, while the last number is important for drought resistance.

Just like with you eating hamburgers, too many can be harmful. That’s why it’s important to find the proper ratio and use it according to the specifications. Come in and talk to us about which ratio and type of fertilizer can best meet your needs and make your garden flourish.

We offer several types of organic fertilizers that are good for your plants, good for the soil, and good for the earth. Come check out our selection of FoxFarm, Happy Frog, and Marine Cuisine fertilizers for gardening success.
