Fertilizer for Beginners

Confused about fertilizer? You’re not alone! What do those 3 numbers mean? How do you use it and why? There are different types of soil (from sandy to silty to clay), and each soil has its pros and cons. On top of this, every garden has its own history— which consists of the products it’s been fed, the plants it’s grown, and the environment it lives in.

As a result of fertilizer, your plants are able to grow bigger much more quickly, and remain healthy in the process. Come learn the ins and outs of fertilizer from Shelby, from Nelson Plant Food.
