In this video, I share the top 5 mistakes you must never make fertilizing your garden. Fertilizing a vegetable garden is critical for success, but there is a lot of conflicting and downright bad information out there. How and when should we fertilize? How much fertilizer do we use, and how often? What is the best fertilizer for a vegetable garden? I break it all down and teach you how to fertilize a garden to maximize success while avoiding the biggest fertilizer mistakes that have become so common.
