Summer is here, and so it’s likely that your edible plants and vegetable gardens are established and thriving! Sometimes it can be really tough to know just exactly what your plants need, so we’re here to help… Soil amendments and supplements are an important aspect of healthy plants and healthy food, and many components you can make or source yourself. Leaf mulch or compost can come from your own yard, and livestock manure can be sourced from local farmers. While these additions are a great first step, we can offer our support with mineral and animal based supplements, to put the finishing touches on growing your own food. Now is a great time to stock up on what your garden needs… Scroll down for tips to determine which fertilizer is best for your soil!
