Fertilizer Choices for Home Gardeners
Growing plants will require food for quality and returns. Animal manures and chemical fertilizers are the two main sources. Used together they give best results. manures improve soil, chemicals boost crop. Recommend spading in organics when turning soil, then top-dress with chemical fertilizer at 5 pounds per 100 square feet. If well-raked, seeds will germinate and grow vigorously, boosting crop prospects.
Guard Seed From Disease With Antibiotic Sphagnum
Seed sowing tips emphasize protecting young plants from damp soil cold dampness and lack of sun using powder disinfectants or sphagnum moss wrapped around roots. A sieve passed moss forms a protective layer in seed boxes to combat damp off and fungal infections.
Slow Growing Flowers and Vegetables Head Start
Slow growing flowers and vegetables benefit from an early seed start under protection. Petunias asters snapdragons and tomatoes peppers eggplants cauliflower cabbage broccoli and kohlrabi are cited. Transplant shock can offset gains, and direct sowing in the garden can yield faster or comparable results in many cases.
