How To Choose The Right Fertilizer For Your Plants ( Complete Guide )

Here's our complete fertilizer guide ( by Kathy from Green Thumb Nursery ) so that you can make an informed decision when choosing which fertilizer to use on which plants in your garden and what you should consider when buying fertilizers from your favorite garden nursery ( Green Thumb! ) If you'd like to try out one or more of the fertilizers featured in the video, please visit one of our five Green Thumb locations located in Lake Forest, Ventura, Canoga Park, San Marcos, Santa Clarita where you can pick these up + many more great options.

Kathy explains what the benefits and differences are of adding nitrogen, phosphorus and/or potassium to the soil (the three main fertilizers listed on the front of the fertilizer boxes in a three number format e.g. 12-5-0) as well the minor nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, etc. She covers which fertilizers/ingredients are great for greening and growth of the plant, which fertilizers/ingredients promote root stimulation and healthy flowers and then which fertilizers/ingredients help with the overall health of the plant. The important distinction between mulch, top soils, specialty soil product adds and actual fertilizers. What the gardening saying, 'Up, Down, All Around' means in the context of soil fertilization. Kathy also covers which fertilizer ingredients you need to be careful about as far as adding too much to avoid burning your plants.

The video also covers information about Mycorrhizal Fungus and the benefits that it has in your garden, which products featured include this fungus. What it means when someone says that a certain product is a balanced fertilizer. As well as which fertilizer you should choose for your roses, citrus trees, evergreen trees, deciduous trees, fruit trees, vegetables, tomatoes, houseplants and more! Down To Earth fertilizers are all organic products and we recommend them because they are very picky about choosing top quality ingredients in their fertilizers!
