Can you please do a fertilizer for dummies video? Certain plants need "X" fertilizer, while others need "Y"... I never know what is what (or how often) so I often check out. Help a girl out please!
Garden fundamentals on youtube. Robert Pavlis. He also has great books. He would pick apart this video. Plants also make their food you aren't feeding them, you are supplying them with minerals that become a solution that the plant will use for its metabolism. Sugars the plant makes "photo" light "synthesis" combining, gets used to help the plant grow and it does that the same fundamental way as we do we take in oxygen and it oxidizes the sugar and produces enegry required for growth. Robert also does garden myths like synthetic vs organic fertilizer.

I use a product called “Recharge” from a company called “RealGrowers”. Its a little pricy but not as bad as some stuff like “mammoth-p” I mix that in when i feed the fertilizer, and alternate those feeds with compost tea, which adds even more microorganisms My compost tea recipe is very simple but very effective 3 gallons dechlorinated water (i just let a bucket sot out for a day or 2) , 1 heaping 8 oz cup of worm castings, 1/4 cup of blackstrap molasses. Aerate for at least 24 hours before feeding to plants
Thank you for the info. I've been gardening for 25 years and start most of my own seeds but didn't know that I should be fertilizing my seedings. Now I will do so.
Thankyou, thankyou, this was so helpful!!! my liquid fertiliser just says "x fertiliser per y water. apply to soil once a week in growing season". But it doesn't say how much to apply!! I guessed that it may be to just do a full watering application with the solution, but I needed the confirmation that you have given here!! Amazing, thanks again.
I just grind up seeds and use them as fertilizer. I buy cheap barley seed, soak them for a day or two to activate the proteins and enzymes, and sprout the root about 1/8 inch of root then grind them up and you have organic fertilizer.
The first leafs contain more sugar and power to make the plant grow and get the true leafs out as quick as possible. That's why they got eaten by rascals so frequently.. The best thing you can provide this is to put a white container with a net on them, but still let them grow outside when the weather is right to get some wind. Plants grow stronger with wind. When your plant is having 5 to 10 leafs its strong enough to face the world without a net... Good Luck!
THANK YOU for explaining why to use organic fertilizer. I had no idea there was a difference, I just assumed as ling as it had NPK either organic or nonorganic would work fine and I could get what's cheapest.
Your seedling mix should have enough stuff in it to support your plants until they get transplanted. What most people lack is phosphorus uptake. 60% of your plants phosphorus uptake happens within the first week. If it's not available you'll never get that phosphorus level up.
Honest question here, not trying to stir up trouble: I am confused because I saw in a number of experts' videos that using organic fertilizer is a waste if you don't have the microorganisms found in soil (but not found in potting mix) to break it down to aid the plants' absorption of the nutrients. So wouldn't giving organic fert. to contained plants (in potting mix) be like feeding crunchy Trail mix to a baby with no teeth?
No don't. You will kill those seedlings. I would wait till they have a few of the original leaves before you plant them in the soil. I would create a hole with no fertilizer soil a few inches in the spot you are planning to bury them in it so hopefully not to burn the seedlings. I personally do not fertilize the soil till the plant gets bigger.
It definitely depends on the seed some can take 3 weeks, like parsley, most should be within a week or 2. If you are trying to germinate peppers or tomatoes they need heat to germinate quickly so it could be that you need a heat mat
@@jacquesinthegarden I have a small space heater in the room with the grow lamps (within 3ft of the seedlings) and my peppers have finally started growing, but some of the others (like my pollinator plants - milkweed, echinacea, etc are still super tiny). Helps to know that some can take longer tho. I’ll try to be patient! 😊 thanks Jacques!
Great video but the whole "synthetic fertilizer has salt" is very misleading. Most people will understand that it contains sodium chloride (table salt) but that's not what salt means in chemistry. The organic fertilizer will also contain "salts" as the organic compounds break down. The benefits of organic fertilizer is that they break down slower so it's harder to over fertilize your plants and the environment but if you use synthetic fertilizers that's fine too just dilute it the same way to get down to a 3-3-3 or lower.
True I should have worded it more carefully, they aren't salt like take salts just chemically salts leading to rapis uptake as they become soluble in water. It's true you can dilute the synthetics but I would still prefer the organic fertilizers which support the soil life as well.
Thank you. Also, 3-3-3 stands for the ratio (and mg) of N-P-K, so "salts" containing nitrogen, phosphorus and kalium in this proportion and mg (per liter if diluted?).
Hello all !!!! I am a first year (rly rly wanna be) veggie grower . Starting out with a few peppers of course tomato, potato, beats , onions … the basics. A lot of sprouts in green house with these true leaves . Would say tomato fertilizer be good for alll of these especially to start ? Please and ty I’m advance ! 🙏🏻❤️ we are all one
I have a massive amount of goat and sheep poop i need to learn how to process... How do i use it and add it to my garden??? How do i make my iwn liquid fertalizer?????
I accidentally put some fertilizer to my seedlings when the true leaves haven't come out (totally a new beginner). Is it ok? Like my plants going to fine?
I *think* it's always best to water and fertilize in the mornings, as then they don't sit wet in their pots all night. that said I just started growing plants so I may have no idea what I'm talking about haha
From what I've learned never fertilize extremely dry plants. What I do is check the soil by pushing my finger into the soil, dry means I water first, let it sit for a time so the plant can draw the water into it's roots. Then it's safe to fertilize. If you are watering by filling the bottom tray what time of day won't matter, if you fertilize or water from above you should only do early enough in the day for any liquid on the leaves has time to dry first.
So long it is the 1/4 we could do 1/8 for half? Right?! If we don’t have that many in a space?! Also, do you have any good recommendations on organic? If we don’t buy “organic” seeds, but we buy organic seed starting mix and fertilizer, would it still be organic? (Could you tell us when organic is no longer organic??)
I still use fertilizer before "organic" I want the nutrients and tastes. Organic is like buying store bought veggies. Use fish for nitrogen, other veggie compost for phosphorus and phosphates. Why buy organic $$$ when God provides for free?🤔
Lol people and their focus on "fertilizer" and "organic" ........ when people say fertilizer I'm thinking ammonium nitrate. When I hear "Organic" it just tells me it costs more lol.
It’s obvious he’s a true gardener but he doesn’t read the comments🧐or answer. For those of us that are new to gardening, we just need a quick answer as to not burn our seedling. I started some of mine too early and so some of the leaves are turning yellow. Too much water? Not enough? Lack of fertilizer? They have been in their containers for a couple of months. 😩 I’m anxious to get them in their waist high raised beds. So what fertilizer is good for all of them for starters? I’ve had videos that recommend different fertilizers for squash vs cabbage, broccoli and something else for tomatoes. Everyone on the video makes it look easy. But it’s not. I plan on adding compost and worm castings to the raised bed soil I bought last year. Don’t think anything I’m using will burn my newbie plants. But it hoping it will be enough to get growth and a great harvest. Any suggestions you all that know? Planning on adding vermiculite to help with the soil mix in the beds. Thanks🪴🩷😊

thank you! I'm just getting into growing my own seedlings from seed and this was extremely useful
I really need to get better at fertilizing my seedlings! Thank you for this reminder. 👍🌱🌻
It's my second year from seed and I dropped the ball on feeding 😢
Gonna keep practicing with seeds through the season for more experience and trial!

About to fertilize some seedlings now.
What fertilizer are you using in this video?

Looks like organic Agrothrive
In the houseplant world, we call bottom watering “buttchugging”

Nice pepper seedlings
Nice 👍!
Do you have a video on fertilizer that we can make from home or gather from the forest?
I got a good new Bird pepper seedlings. 🙏
I love fertilizing my seedlings and watching it rain smelly brown liquid off my balcony 🥲
i water with filtered pond water and that works
I like to bottom water with fish emulsion when I put in the seeds and then just let them ride. Alaska 5-1-1. Stinky stuff but great.
How did you know i was just wondering this, Jacques? XD
What fertilizer are you using?
Can I get the name of the organic fertilizer?
How often do you need to fertilize the seedlings before transplanting?
Do you leave the fertilizer in the container for the whole day?
Can i use solid fertilizer
Honest question here, not trying to stir up trouble: I am confused because I saw in a number of experts' videos that using organic fertilizer is a waste if you don't have the microorganisms found in soil (but not found in potting mix) to break it down to aid the plants' absorption of the nutrients. So wouldn't giving organic fert. to contained plants (in potting mix) be like feeding crunchy Trail mix to a baby with no teeth?
It's amazing how dark the water is even with just a quarter of the strength...just my observation
Should I still fertilizer my seedlings if they are planted in soil that has fertilizer already in it?
No don't. You will kill those seedlings. I would wait till they have a few of the original leaves before you plant them in the soil. I would create a hole with no fertilizer soil a few inches in the spot you are planning to bury them in it so hopefully not to burn the seedlings.

@@gofigure4920 thanks!
What do you mean by fertilizer?
@@gofigure4920 organic things don't burn your plants. Chemical fertilizers will.
@@billyyank5807 like promix that has it in the putting mix already.
Ayyy is that thrips damage on those cotyledons?
Organic fertilizer will not do much without soil organisms to break it down.
How long does it typically take for true leaves to emerge? (On average) is 3 weeks too slow, or am I being impatient?!
It definitely depends on the seed some can take 3 weeks, like parsley, most should be within a week or 2. If you are trying to germinate peppers or tomatoes they need heat to germinate quickly so it could be that you need a heat mat

You know. It makes sense why cottonseed meal would make such a great organic fertilizer. Its just groundup seeds minus oil
How long do you leave the seedlings/or other more mature plants you bottom water in the water? Until it’s all absorbed, just a few minutes?
Also, what organic fertilizer do you use/recommend?
Anyone know the fertilizer he uses?
Would it be best to fertilize in the evening? And if so; would you water them first before fertilizing? Thanks for the garden info journey ❤

Watering In the evening can lead to mold/powder mildew. Do it early in the day. Depends on soil moisture if you water twice or not.
Can you do it from the top?
Would you still fertilize your seedlings if you planted them in a larger matinee and in potting mix rather than seed starting mix?
Feed your soil not your plants. Depends on soil nutrient content and how large your containers are.
I give them 12 days 15 sometimes and barely any like quarter the dose kr less . Organic though a week before u want them to eat u feed
How long should you put your plants when you bottom water?
20-30 minutes

Also, do you have any good recommendations on organic? If we don’t buy “organic” seeds, but we buy organic seed starting mix and fertilizer, would it still be organic? (Could you tell us when organic is no longer organic??)
