The Most Simplified Way to Feed Your Garden!



Lately we’ve been getting a lot of questions about how to feed or fertilize certain cool season veggies. As a result, we’ve created a very simplified system that places most of our cool season veggies into three groups. We’ll explain the veggies in each of these three groups and how we fertilize each of these groups differently.

    I get great results with 1/4 cup blood meal in the transplanting hole – my broccoli keeps going for months after I cut the main head!

    any chance you wanna do a video about preping the garden for our first frost? im new to this and i little knowledge of how our south ga gardens will do. i pretty much have everything planted following your advise and we are doing very well so far! ty!

    Alright alright alright….. you (or anyone else here) still messin' round with alfalfa cubes/pellets?!? Was thinking of working in some in a few rows this fall and see how she goes for cool season root veggies this winter here in central Flawduh. Thanks always, stay frosty stay blessed everyone. 🤙🇺🇸🇷🇺✌️

    I've had spells of "Mad Scientist Gardening"…. Nothing like mixing custom water soluble fertilizers and micro nutrients to experiment with. One thing a lot of experienced gardeners don't think about is you can vary the amount of NPK just by changing the application rate of a common fertilizer (does not change the ratio of N to P to K, just the applied equivalent rate). For instance I like to push phosphorus via drip irrigation and often use Jack's Classic Commercial 10-30-20 NPK. That might be a little much for most folks, but if you mix it at 1/2 the recommended rate, you have the equivalent of 5-15-10 NPK which is more in line with a good "P" boost with some helpful potassium as well. You can discover a whole new hobby playing with mixing your own fertilizers, both granular and liquid soluble. But you don't need to go down that rabbit hole, just understand application rates and how varying the rate can give a different outcome than the recommended rate (just remember the ratio of N to P to K remains the same, you just change the application rate overall – the NPK is the compound weight in the whole, ie, 10-30-20 when mixed as recommended is 10% nitrogen, 30% phosphorus, and 20% potassium, with the remainder being inert – I'm not including the micro's in that example. That's why if you mix it 50% the recommended amount you get a 5-15-10 equivalent fertilizer). Hope I have not confused the issue, but gardening can be a whole 'nother level if you want to go there….

    Consider erasing your line of pine trees and replacing them with moringa trees, nitrogen fixing, great animal fodder, and super stuff to compost and add that to your veggie beds on sandy soil that is very prone to lose nitrogen whenever it rains. Maybe there is no need to buy extermal fertilizers if your compost production goes up. If everyone would grow clover in their lawns, they would not have to buy nitrogen fertilizers and clover killers.

    Hi Travis
    It’s spring here in Australia. Though your gardening advice which I watched when it was your spring summer is very useful. I’m tending to my fig tree after all your care for figs. I have some gigs already getting big they will need another month or so to ripen. Hope the birds can stay away. Thankyou for all your garden tips & advice ever so useful

    Love it Trav! But I’m with earlshine on this one. I use compost for preplant fertilizer and later if something looks like it could use a boost maybe some organic fertilizer like Espoma all purpose. Also I get a truck load of manure in the fall and spread it about an inch deep then cover with leaves that I got up with my lawn mower. By spring the worms have broken it down into primo garden soil. Of course my gardens are smaller, one is 30×30 and the other 8×65. If they were like yours I’d be using more fertilizer and cover cropping.

    I use a pre plant granular in advance of plantin in wicking containers to break down and be available for the new plant

    We are preparing our raised gardens in the north, before winter arrives, and have added animal compost & mulched leaves to the garden. Do I still need any other fertilizer or wait until the spring where I put some bone & blood meal in prior to planting?

  15. Kev Dimo £

    Excellent advice thank you Trav! I’m in Western Australia and I’m positive this type of information is what I’ve been lacking for my vegetable garden. I’m looking forward to seeing an improvement! 👍🏼👍🏼

    Hey Travis sure was a busy summer. Looks like y'all had a lot of good results. Getting ready to make the hot sauce. I have saved your videos on the fermenting and the making of the hot sauce. I do add some sweet peppers and carrots to a portion of the total I separate it and that one is less hot so my wife and sister like it better than mine. I saved the videos to a playlist so it is faster to find them. I had a great summer some huge wins and some hot messes overall really great. Looking forward to a winter break we will be 25° F every night for a week so everything is going to die back for a cleanup. Just finishing the garlic getting in for the winter. Cya next time

    Last year was the first year I have successfully grown carrots, thanks to you Travis! This year my carrots are looking great! Thanks again. We live in the same zone 8b, so I’m able to follow along with your planting schedule.
