Planting with fertilizer involves carefully adding fertilizer around the plant's base and watering it in.
Here's a breakdown of how to effectively plant with fertilizer:
-
Dig Your Hole: Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the plant's root ball comfortably.
-
Prepare the Fertilizer: Choose the appropriate fertilizer for your plant type and follow the instructions on the packaging. Granular fertilizers are common.
-
Application: Gently sprinkle fertilizer around the base of the plant, avoiding direct contact with the stem. This helps prevent burning the plant.
-
Backfill: Kind of level that back out. After applying fertilizer, backfill the hole with soil, ensuring the plant is at the correct depth.
-
Watering: Water your plants, this helps dissolve the fertilizer and distribute it to the roots. Aim to water well around the plant. The video suggests watering before you go to work or with kids.
