🌸How to Prepare the Landscape for Maximum Spring Beauty

from Mountain Gardener with Ken & Lisa · host Ken Lain

Hey gardeners, Ken Lain here! Spring is just around the corner, and it's time to get your landscape ready for a spectacular show.   Here are three key tasks to tackle now: First, feed your plants. Just like us, plants need nourishment to thrive. Fertilize everything in your landscape with a good quality organic or all-natural plant food. Avoid synthetic fertilizers, as they can harm beneficial soil organisms and pollute our waterways.   Second, focus on the drip line. When fertilizing, remember that the feeder roots of your plants are located at the drip line, or the outermost edge of the canopy. Sprinkle the fertilizer evenly around the drip line for optimal absorption.   Finally, choose the right fertilizer. At Watters Garden Center, we offer two excellent organic fertilizers: our 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food and our 6-4-4-7 Organic Fruit and Vegetable Food. Both are pelletized for easy application and provide slow-release nutrients for healthy growth.   By following these simple steps, you'll be setting your landscape up for a vibrant and productive spring season.
