Have you ever wondered why nitrogen is so essential to plants. Well this gardening Canada video looks at exactly how nitrogen works with plants. We go through what forms of nitrogen a plant needs to grow. How nitrogen has lost from a soil system. And even have nitrogen can affect Houseplants and they’re small little ecosystem. I will give you tips and tricks on how to manage nitrogen within your soil whether you are a gardener, or house plant person we will find a solution.
This video is a part of the gardening/house plant Vlogmas serious. We will be doing 17 days of essential plant nutrients leading up to the Christmas season. This will hopefully give you a lot of content to watch on your days off.

Ashley is an agronomist who has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.
At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.
Some of Ashley’s interests are RU-vid, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s RU-vid channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her RU-vid channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.

And I have three children so, counting interruptions, it took me about all day to listen to it once. But I was a lil' bit jumping for excitement when you introduced this series, and I freaking WILL watch 17x's if I have to to understand.

Hi Ashley, I love your videos because I have a science degree but it was heavy with chemistry, physics and math at UBC. I started gardening three years ago and have watched dozens of gardening videos but I’m finally learning the soil science and biology that is so woefully lacking in my background. I have high school biology and what I’ve learned from teaching science 8,9, and 10 science courses, but not what I need to grow healthy plants. I’ve made so many mistakes like using container soil to start seedlings that all damped off, fertilizing everything with 10-10-10 fertilizer, planting hostas in full sun. I am very lucky to live in North Delta in the Pacific Northwest in zone 8b where we normally get 93 inches of rain annually. I grew up in Vancouver with a mother who loved to garden but watering was just something we did in summer if it didn’t rain for a few days in a row. I have pages of notes and diagrams now and a much better understanding of plant systems and what they need. Your videos are so very interesting and I particularly appreciate the peer reviewed articles you show on the screen that provides even more detail. You are doing an awesome job, thanks again!!!

Hey, this was so interesting ! I added urea to my compost this year, 1 spoon to 15 liters of water. I had half cardboard, half green material. It did speed up composting. I am demolishing a shed next year and want to grow legumes there. It's about 15sq meters. I'll have about 1 cubic meter of compost. I'm thinking of digging it all into the soil. That soil was dry for 50 years, I guess it needs some bacteria..

Suuuuper interesting, I’m really looking forward to the whole series :D Question: for blossom end rot and organic fertilizer in a large container, if you use an all purpose (like a 4-4-4) at transplanting time mixed into the medium, would it be better to just not add any more throughout growth? As in, the NH4 would be used up during vegetative growth and then at that point the channels would be available for the rest during blossom/fruiting? Or would the rest wash out? Maybe its whole own video if it’s a complicated answer, haha.

Love your videos. So much information. I am going to be planting dozens of berry bushes and fruit trees on my property thus spring. I was told about cation exchange in relation to the amount of organic material in the soil. If there is a high level of organic material the more the soil can hold onto nutrients. So by adding lots of organic material to the soil at planting and adding tonnes of nutrient rich compost like soybean meal. You wouldn't have to fertilize again for years in a closed loop system with the leaves fall and breaking down fertilizing its self. Is this the case and could the organic material added be peat moss? Would love to see a video on that science. If there is already one could i get a link please.

Yes absolutely. So ideally you’re going to flush before you fertilize. So if you grab the watering PDF I have for free that will walk you through how to flush prior to fertilizing.

I got the gist of what you said, but I did get an A in organic chem lab in college, decades ago. I think you would get some much more likes and viewership if you used more graphics while you explain, as it can be hard to hear what you saying, and for those who do not have a bit of chemistry, it would simply be a different language.

@@GardeningInCanada oh wow, thank you for responding! Never expect someone with a big following to respond, especially to an old video. After watching some more of your videos I got a little more understanding; I think it was the Epsom salt and tums hack video. I did buy Lime this year and added a little to some of my mixes, but now I understand the magnesium can block calcium. I have to go back and re-listen to your statements about carbonates and the nitrates(?) from organic fertilizers. I'm guessing that's why gypsum is recommended over garden lime..? (💡 Video about differences between common garden products that have similar uses/attributes and are mistakenly used interchangeably). I think my blossom end rot is from the stress of heat and drought in Chicago. We watered every other day, but maybe we should've watered our containers everyday since the temps were in the upper 90s and low 100s. Still going to check my PH. Thanks again

Have only watched half up to 17 min and my brain does not compute. I’m so tired and all I can think of is you just explained to me the process of cycling an aquarium. Ammonia to nitrites which then make nitrates. So is fish water a good option for regular watering or even as a fertilizer? Getting kids to bed and will watch again.

@@GardeningInCanada But how would I go about flushing my self watering pots that have a reservoir in the bottom but no outer pot? 🤔 since I can’t discard the water. They contain a big money tree (soil) and two chilies (pumice with soil around the rootball) I suppose I should find a fertilizer with less nitrogen for them? The NPK for my fertilizer is 7-1,3-5 and I use it for all my plants. It is labeled as a all purpose fertilizer. And I combine that with a few slow release granules. Thinking of buying a fertilizer with higher P, but I find those are labeled as either a chili or orchid fertilizer commonly. But the same ratio can also be labeled differently between different brands. Or “orchid” fertilizer can have different NPK. 😵‍💫😵‍💫 Your series will be very helpful. 😁😁😁 I want my monstera to grow into a godzilla-level monster 🤩🤩🤩 But I also plan to chop her up and start over cause she’s ugly 😬 A year of incompetent care.

Have you done a video on bone meal? I've been making bone broth with my chicken bones and dehydrating the remaining bones to make bone meal to put on my plants. I'm not sure if it's actually doing anything for my plants. Does the phosphorus dissolve into the bone broth or does it actually remain in the bone meal?

Adding apple cider vinegar can leach more minerals but unsure how much! My cats always love my plants when i use it lol
