Fertilizing
Fertilizing
Q. I live in southern Michigan and have
had our garden in the same spot for about
30 years. At first the garden was great.
Now I can't seem to grow much of anything
without planting seeds twice or more. My
question is when I go to fertilize do I
plant the seeds and then put the fertilizer
on the covered seeds or what? I have tried
manure fertilizer and nothing seems to make
my garden grow. I grow the best weeds around
but when it comes to veggies outside of
tomatoes it's a no go! We do rotate crops.
HELP!!!!!!!!
A. You have touched upon some important factors. For vegetables over that long period of time
you should be rotating where you are growing them. One type of plant uses a certain amount of nutrients to grow well and produce. Another plant will need other ones. So moving them around is a good way to supply the needed nutrients. I like your soil amendment ideas
but would like you to till the soil as early as you can adding dehydrated manure
compost blood meal
leaf mold and/or peat moss. Then let it set for a couple weeks before seeding. Do not lay fertilizer right next to the seeds as you sow. It can dissolve with water and burn the tiny root tendrils of your plants.
Let me know if this helps or we may have
to explore other options.
