When planting a container garden, it is essential to start with fresh, organic potting soil to give plants a healthy start. After the garden starts growing, add organic fertilizer with the tips below once a week to boost the health of the soil and increase your homegrown harvests.
How To Fertilize Your Seedsheet:
- When plants are at least 4" tall, (or just after first thinning) is a great time to start fertilizing. The easiest way to boost the soil nutrients in a container garden is by adding liquid fertilizer to your watering can 1x per week.
- Follow the **instructions on the container** to dilute the fertilizer concentrate, and apply to the plants when watering. PRO TIP: When growing outdoors, it is a good rule of thumb to apply the fertilizer in the morning or evening, avoiding the heat of the day. (If growing indoors, fertilize in the morning or evening, whenever you regularly water.)
- Watch plants grow lush foliage, flowers + fruit until it's time to harvest!
