Are you ready to learn? Let’s explore the basics of plant health care and fertilisation. This will help your garden grow and thrive.
Understanding the Fundamentals of Plant Health Care and Fertilization
Plants in forests grow well on their own. The leaf litter on the ground breaks down. It gives trees the nutrients they need.
We can make our gardens healthy like forests. Soil health is very important for plants to grow strong. Soil that drains well and has the right pH is best.
Integrated pest management is a smart way to care for plants. It uses natural methods instead of chemicals. This helps keep the garden balanced and pest-free.
Organic fertilizers and biostimulants are great for plants. They feed the soil and help it work better. They give plants nutrients slowly, so plants grow well without getting too much.
Learning about these basics helps us make gardens like nature. This way, plants grow strong and our gardens are good for the environment.
Natural Fertilizers: Your Key to Sustainable Garden Success
Natural fertilizers are key for a green garden. At John French Landscape Design, we love using organic fertilizers. They feed your garden and protect the earth.
Compost is a top choice for organic fertilizers. Aim for a mix of 20:1 to 30:1 carbon to nitrogen. For home use, a 3:1 or 4:1 mix of browns to greens works well. Keep your compost pile small and moist.
Seaweed extract is also great. It has over 70 minerals and hormones for plants. Use 3 ml per litre for foliar spray, every 20 days. For roots, use 1/8–1/4 tsp per litre weekly. Studies show seaweed extract boosts nutrient uptake of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulfur.
Fish emulsion and worm castings are also good. Dilute fish emulsion 2 tablespoons per gallon for foliar spray, every two weeks. For soil, use 4 tablespoons per gallon weekly. Worm castings can be added to soil at 1-2 inches per 6-8 inches. These natural options give lots of nutrients without harsh chemicals.
