Switching From Synthetic To Organic Gardening! (Garden Talk #94)

In this episode of Garden Talk, I interview Locke Box. He grows both indoors as well as outdoors and he recently made the switch from using salt-based fertilizers (often referred to as synthetic) to using organic inputs - and that’s what we are going to get into in today’s episode. He talks all about how he used to grow with synthetic nutrients and how he now does it fully organic. What type of plants do you like to grow? Peppers, lettuce, tomatoes, citrus trees, basil, kale, grapes, house plants, let us know in the comments section below. If you enjoyed this video please click that thumbs up button :)
