Feeding Your Plants
Nitrogen is an essential element of your gardens complex
chemical activities. A steady stream of slow release nitrogen is
always available if you have enough decomposted organic material
in your landscape.
I like to suppliment our plants in the spring with
nitrogen.Most landscape plants use more nitrogen than other
plant foods. Nitrogen is important to be available but don't use
to much. To much nitrogen makes plants grow fast. Fast growing
plants are not strong. Heavy amounts of nitrogen can also burn
the plants and contaminate ground water resources.
If your plants are pale yellow, you probably need more
nitrogen.If your plants are growing fast and producing lots and
lots of leaves they might have to much nitrogen.
We recommend
Osmocote fertillizer. It provides a constant
supply of nutrients to existing landscape beds. We feel that ity
is a great product to give the right nutrition for
deeds,seedlings, and transplants. For new and established beds
we like to use 3 tablespoons of Osmocote for each 2'x 2' area of
garden, and work it into the top 1-3" of soil.When beds settle,
add 1/2 teaspoon of osmocote mixed into the soil around the
plant. A 3# package of Osmocote sells for around $12.00.
