Using Too Much Fertilize On Garden Does More Harm Than Good
Fertilize. It makes our garden grow. So if a little is good, a whole lot would be better, right? Wrong. Using too much fertilize on your garden does more harm than good.
Using too much fertilize, especially if the fertilize is high in nitrogen (the first number on the fertilize bag).
Too much fertilize will promote lush green garden plant growth, but it will be at the expense of the vegetables. You will grow smaller and fewer garden vegetables because all the plant’s energy created from too much fertilize, will go into growing lush plant foliage.
Too much fertilize also harms the garden soil, and you need good soil to grow a good garden.
Use organic fertilize like compost or cow manure to amend the soil. You’ll have a better garden, with more produce, if you feed the soil and let the soil feed the garden plants.
good post. the less chemicals we use the better for the environment. natural mulch and compost is the best. Feed the soil and the soil will feed the plant - so true.
