On today's 2 minute garden tip, I share why you should not fertilize garden beds that are empty. Amending garden soil in advance of planting is important, but do this with compost only. Do not waste expensive fertilizer products weeks in advance of planting, because using fertilizer like this is a big waste of money!

The point about compost feeding the soil and fertilizer feeding the plants really made an impact on me.

The only thing i do is put compost and shredded leaves on my beds in the winter for bed and again in early march. I use leaves for mulch and i do use bone meal in individual holes when i plant. Thanks for this info.

I prep my beds with granulated composted chicken manure before I plant. Not a long time before. I really feel it expands and helps aerate the soil and rejuvenates the soil itself. It's not soluble and takes time to break down and seriously gets the worms growing and going. My goto organic really. 9 kilos are something like 10 bucks. I feel it's very worth it but yea not a month before I plant at all.

@AjArpopP52 3 месяца назад

This is such an important tip. I put manure, worm castings and rock phosphorus in my container garden. Your video makes sense. Live and learn. I love your channel. You have really helped me over the years. Thank you so much!

@2MinuteGardenTips 3 месяца назад

That makes sense, assuming you can obtain those amendments for a good price. None of that can be added to a planting hole, so the only way to make it useful is to add it to soil months in advance of planting. However, if you're paying a lot of money for it, I'd tell you to skip it and just get local compost. It has everything your soil needs for cheap. Sometimes, you can even get it from the county or local recycling plant for free (or $10 a pick-up truck load). Then, just target the planting hole with all purpose fertilizer. Whatever works out as the best, most efficient use of your time and money, I'd go that route.

I know this is off topic, but will you be attaching pvc to place the shade cloth over your new metal raised beds? This is going to be my 1st summer with my metal beds and I'm trying to plan out my shade situation.

@ryanmoe21 3 месяца назад

Thank you. I have around 50(20 and 10 gal) fabric pots that I filled last year with 4 yards of new potting soil. Tomatoes, peppers, squash, beans, eggplant. I'm wondering how best to refresh the soil for this years grow? Replace some of the old in each pot with fresh compost and fertilizer(tomato tone)? I also have an inline fertilizer system for drip irrigation(master blend once a week). Is this overkill? Wondering what folks may do in my situation before ordering a bunch of fertilizer and compost. Thanks!

@piedmontwildlifeandoutdoors 3 месяца назад

So does this apply to rock dust (mineral dust) also? I used that to increase the minerals in the soil.

@2MinuteGardenTips 3 месяца назад

It doesn't apply to anything that would take a very long time to break down that can't be added to a planting hole. Something like Azomite, it would apply to, because that has been micronized to break down quickly. If you're adding, say, raw manure to a bed, that needs to be added months before planting. Anything that can be added to a planting hole and will break down in mere weeks shouldn't be added far in advance, because it'll often wash out before you plant in the medium.

@biblgrl6563 3 месяца назад

So should i till in the 3" compost layer? last year was the first year of using my back yard, which has a lot of red clay, but i tilled in about 3" of compost then.

@fartcake 3 месяца назад

if you’re dealing with dense red clay you gotta till and amend the crap out of it either way.

@arlenesolis024 3 месяца назад

Is chicken manure good to amend soil

@2MinuteGardenTips 3 месяца назад

Yes, but you must add that well in advance of planting. That takes months to break down. That would be like adding "unfinished compost" to your soil.

@user-su5du9ln8r 3 месяца назад

Would agree that it would be a big WASTE of Money to use synthetic fertilizers that way. However, it takes several weeks to months, depending on climate and soil moisture levels for regular (non-fermented) organic fertilizer to be broken down and accessible to plants by the soil biology. The more moisture, the better. Prepping your beds or containers that way (ahead of time) would make the nutrients available to your plants by the time you plant them.

@wesleysnellgrove 3 месяца назад

Fish emulsion could be started in the fall and ready to use by springtime. You could even do fish hydrolysate by blending the fish and adding non sulphured molasses to the mix and it's ready in 2-4 weeks. Very potent and shelf stable for a year or so

@emptynestgardens9057 3 месяца назад

What about slow release amendments like bone meal, alfalfa pellets, compressed hen manure pellets. Omg I just did this and not planting out in my zone 5 for another 4 wks🤦🏻‍♀️. 💸💸💸

@2MinuteGardenTips 3 месяца назад

The fertilizer I featured in this video is a slow release fertilizer. It takes weeks, maybe a month or more, to break down. I consider it a waste, because as it breaks down, the nutrients get washed away from your bed in wait. Alfalfa pellets and manure are different. They are something you don't add to a planting hole. You must work that into your soil months in advance of planting. However, that only makes sense if you can get it for a very good price. Otherwise, just target the planting hole with all purpose fertilizer. As for bone meal, no way would I add that to my beds. That stuff is pricey, and it's like powdered gold. I apply that very judiciously to my planting holes and as top dressing. I would not want to dump that into an empty bed.

@wesleysnellgrove 3 месяца назад

Fertilizer is expensive. But, do you know what's cheap and almost free? Making your own from leaf mould, rain/well water and fresh fish scraps. It's called fish emulsion. Start it in the fall or winter in a bucket and it'll be ready to use come springtime.
