Great video but the whole "synthetic fertilizer has salt" is very misleading. Most people will understand that it contains sodium chloride (table salt) but that's not what salt means in chemistry. The organic fertilizer will also contain "salts" as the organic compounds break down. The benefits of organic fertilizer is that they break down slower so it's harder to over fertilize your plants and the environment but if you use synthetic fertilizers that's fine too just dilute it the same way to get down to a 3-3-3 or lower.
Can you please do a fertilizer for dummies video? Certain plants need "X" fertilizer, while others need "Y"… I never know what is what (or how often) so I often check out. Help a girl out please!
Hello all !!!! I am a first year (rly rly wanna be) veggie grower . Starting out with a few peppers of course tomato, potato, beats , onions ā¦ the basics. A lot of sprouts in green house with these true leaves . Would say tomato fertilizer be good for alll of these especially to start ? Please and ty Iām advance ! šš»ā¤ļø we are all one
So long it is the 1/4 we could do 1/8 for half? Right?! If we donāt have that many in a space?!
Also, do you have any good recommendations on organic? If we donāt buy āorganicā seeds, but we buy organic seed starting mix and fertilizer, would it still be organic? (Could you tell us when organic is no longer organic??)
I just grind up seeds and use them as fertilizer. I buy cheap barley seed, soak them for a day or two to activate the proteins and enzymes, and sprout the root about 1/8 inch of root then grind them up and you have organic fertilizer.

As always: an informative explanation of how to garden correctly. Thank you.
I got a good new Bird pepper seedlings. š
Dude. You are the seedling whisperer. Frfr
Perfect timing for this info! Thanks!
How frequently are you watering seedlings like this?
Would it be best to fertilize in the evening? And if so; would you water them first before fertilizing? Thanks for the garden info journey ā¤
This is such perfect timing! I have an abundance of seedlings germinating as we speak
What fertilizer are you using in this video?

You are the bomb. This info is right on time!
thank you! I'm just getting into growing my own seedlings from seed and this was extremely useful
Thank you! Perfect timing. This is exactly what I needed to know right now with my seedlings.
Thank you

How long does it typically take for true leaves to emerge? (On average) is 3 weeks too slow, or am I being impatient?!

With sky high prices this is important information.
Thanks for the info my friend
I've never fertilized my garden. Is it worth the effort?
How do we fix fertilizer burn? Whoops.
