Brilliant and Life Changing! I fertilized using this 5 gallon bucket method today and it is so much easier than mixing in the small watering can. Makes fertilizing much more quicker and efficient. I will definitely step up my fertilizing with this method. Thank you for sharing your tips! 🇨🇦

Awesome video!!!!! I love the idea of the 5 gallon bucket. I have a 1 gallon container - my neighbors must think I'm crazy... I spend more time walking back-and-forth from the different areas of my garden to the water spout - this would definitely help me..... thank you so much!!!!

Hi there! I was inspired by your backyard lined up with sunpatiens and I planted a lot of them last year. It was not successful-plants did not grow big and there were not much flowers as yours. I read online instruction saying sunpatiens do not need much fertilizer so I did not fertilize at all. I wonder whether this is the prob. How would you fertilize sunpatiens please?
@gardencrossings2 жыл бұрын
I do not fertilize Sunpatiens. Make sure they get lots of water and full sun.

I love how you guys demonstrated how to fertilize the supertunias. I do it this way too. Can you do a future video of when you stop fertilizing for the year thank you

You kidding right ;) But seriously, if you watch the Fall garden center tours towards the end you will see Supertunias that have not been fertilized and you can tell.

When I buy the supertunias the blooms are huge but no matter how much or often i fertilize the blooms get smaller and smaller over the summer. I’m in zone 7a/b and every year it’s like this. Full sun and 6hrs of sun doesn’t matter. What kind of steroids (in jest) are they using? Thank you for the video and makes perfect sense about the bucket method. That starts today.

I didn’t know you could double feed supertunias when they yellow. Do you ever cut your supertunias back mid season?
@gardencrossings3 жыл бұрын
Yes, i do trim them back if i absolutely need to. I try to keep up on the feed though that why they dont need a trim.

Girl, you are talking about everything here. For instance, you talking that this fertilizer color and / or so on......but you never say what fertilizer to use. Like, for instance, 10-10-10 or 5-8-5 or which????? We are looking to find out what is best to use and not how the guy is mixing it in bucket. Everybody knows how to mix solutions.... Think about next time...

Yes, this is a great addition to the fertilizer regime. The iron used in this fertilizer is great even when your plants are really struggling.

The change in colour could also be in reaction to your water. What is the ph? Is it more acidic, or more base?
@gardencrossings4 ай бұрын
No it is not a reaction to my water. It is the type of iron they use. It is different than other fertilizers.

I am sure it is good, but not as good in my opinion. Proven Winners uses a better iron that can easily be taken up by 'bound up' plants. That other fertilizers cant do.

I loved this video. It answered the questions I had about fertilizing. I've been using a five gallon bucket also. I also have a Gorilla cart. So I put the bucket in the cart , put the fertilizer in the bucket, and fill it with water. Then I pulled the cart which is much easier than carrying that heavy bucket. It was the most complete fertilizing video I've seen. Thank you!

Thank you for your videos-I always learn something new! I came back from vacation and my supertunia bubblegums were crazy leggy and huge because of all the rain. I chopped them back pretty hard, so they look like foot long leggy sticks with a few leaves. Will they grow back, or have I killed them? Zone 7b Virginia.

There is a good chance they will grow back. Make sure to fertilize them as well weekly.
