À propos de ce contenu audio
Is fertilizer already in your potting soil enough to feed your plants all season? In this episode of The Compost Pile, we break down one of the most common gardening myths: relying solely on pre-fertilized soil to sustain your plants long term.
We discuss the difference between compost-based soils and synthetic time-release fertilizers like Osmocote 14-14-14, how temperature and sunlight affect fertilizer breakdown, and why container plants lose nutrients faster than raised beds or in-ground gardens. You’ll also learn how nitrogen deficiency shows up, why heavy feeders like tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers need extra nutrition, and how soil microbes play a critical role in long-term plant health.
If you’ve ever wondered:
• Do I need extra fertilizer if my soil already has some?
• How long does fertilizer really last in potting mix?
• Does heat affect slow-release fertilizer?
• Why are my container plants turning yellow?
This episode will help you build better soil practices and feed your plants for long-term success.
Listen, learn, and grow smarter in Zone 9a and beyond.
