11. WHAT IS PLANT FOOD?

12. FERTILIZING = SUPPLEMENTS
 Photosynthesis creates FOOD
 Fertilizers are NOT food
 Fertilizers are plant Supplements
BTW – Plants are Magick!

13. APPLYING FERTILIZERS
 Would you spray
nutritional supplements
on your skin?
 Fertilizers best serve the
plant where the plant
absorbs the nutrients – In
The Roots
Supplemental information to think about…
With nutrients

14. COLD WEATHER CONSIDERATIONS
 Sometimes in cold weather slow release nutrients (manures and
organics) in the soil will not be released from their holding pads and be
made available to the plants. When this happens you may see nutrient
deficiencies even though you know nutrients should be there.
 Two solutions –
 Wait it out for the warm weather to come back and release those nutrients
back to the plant
 Apply a little bit of quick release nutrients (inorganic, usually the powders
you dilute in water and apply)

15. FERTILIZER BURN
 When TOO much fertilizer is applied to a plant the
fertilizer has the potential to chemically burn the
plant
 While not Typical in organic fertilizers it CAN happen
– Chicken manures in particular
 Symptom – Brown leaf margins
 Solution –
 Make sure to follow the instructions on the bag
 If applying manures only apply a little at a time over a
longer course of time and water in
Usually not a problem in Organic gardening, but I want to mention it anyway
