Nitrogen 101: Transforms Your Garden | Mastering the Garden

Ask a Question or Leave a Comment🌱 What is nitrogen actually and when we know what it is why does it matter? In this solo episode of White Strawberries, I ditch the edits (full disclosure I took the "um's" out) and go full conversation mode to unpack something that is made overly complicated sometimes: nitrogen. 🧪 We explore: • What nitrogen really is  • How to tell if a plant is nitrogen-rich—or ready to mulch • Composting ratios made simple • "Humanure" • Why fresh arborist mulch is awesome for paths and terrible for your garden bed • Why I'm growing a wisteria tree in the middle of my central garden bed🌸 Whether you're into hot composting, lazy mulching, or dreaming up a nitrogen-fixing forest floor—this one’s a musing that won’t get too sciency. Just soil-loving honesty from one curious gardener to another.📸 See the wisteria-in-the-garden  @whitestrawberriespodcast on Instagram and FacebookAbout Sam – Learn more about the host of White Strawberries.Support the Podcast – Buy Sam a Cuppa to help keep new episodes coming.Join Grounded – Be first to hear when the course opens.Ask a Question – Submit a gardening question for a future episode.
