DOGS AND FERTILIZER: Got the neptunes harvest and used it to revitalize the old potting soil. We have a Basset Lab mix dog. So all nose and all stomach. She LOVED the fertilizer! We found 3 cups of soil left in a 3 gallon pot after one night (she's clever and waited until dark when we couldn't see her). We've had to put chairs over them to keep her out. We tried burying the fertilizer deeper (her nose knows anyway), we tried chilli and cayenne on top (the lab part of can eat anything though). In the end we had to let the fertilizer age for a couple of weeks so the smell would die down. So now I revitalize my soil a few weeks early in the garage before using. (No dogs were harmed in this story. Apart from a few days of mild constipation the dog is fine. She has insisted we subscribe to your channel, and wants to us to find a lobster shell and gravy version of nature harvest fertilizer. We have told her no to the later)

Want to thank you again!! Love learning from you!! From your previous videos, I learned that it's ok to trim the never ending growing type of tomatoes. Thanks to you telling me that, I was able to save some tomatoes during a recent heat wave. I watered my tomato plants in the AM. I went out in the afternoon. I noticed that two plants had some tomatoes that had a leathery look! I immediately sprayed the plants with cool water in the shade. Thanks to you telling us to use mulch and to trim lower leaves, there was no backsplash and the tomatoes went back to normal! :) Now I have several plants that are a little over six feet tall :). Had no idea that they can get that tall!!! I feel intimidated by a few of them lol :). Thank you again!!! Have a blessed day everyone.

[@asharerin]

I am a fan of foliar feeding as well. It uses only about 10% of what you need for a soil drench but is far more effective. I use it all season long even through flowering and have had great results. The key is to add slow release and compost at planting in the soil and then I foliar feed every 10-14 days until frost. Just make sure to dilute to about half you would a soil drench.

[@paulcorsetto6047]

Why do you dilute the fertilizer when foliar feeding?

[@asharerin]

@@paulcorsetto6047 You do not want to burn the leaves when doing a foliar spray. In fact it would be a good idea to do the first spray on a plant at 1/4 strength and see how it reacts over the next 2-3 days. Unlike a soil drench the foliar spray is direct feeding so you need much less. When you soil drench most of the fertilizer is not used at all by the plant and gets washed away with watering in the soil. When you foliar spray most of it gets absorbed so you need much less, and you also have the residue left on the leaves. With any type of fertilizing dilute well as you can always add more next time but it is a lot more work to correct overfertilization and burning to leaves or roots.

[@paulcorsetto6047]

@@asharerin thank you. What about when I spray Neem Oil? I know that Neem Oil is in fact an oil. Will that prevent absorption when foliage feeding?

[@FLJ1954]

@@asharerin I do the same with neem oil as a bug repellant. Dilute and rinse after 15 minutes otherwise you will burn your cucumber's leaf.

[@gabbygertie8709]

We built several raised beds this year, spent a small fortune filling them with bagged manure, vermiculite and peat moss, and bagged dirt. We were so excited. By chance I picked up a soil test kit. I'm so disappointed! Absolutely NO nitrogen, or anything else in the soil. So now I'm trying to work in fertilizer (10-10-10), plus adding nutrients when planting. Will definitely be trying the fish emulsion for foliage and later for roots. Thanks for the tutorial, we might get veggies for the table yet! We did start composting but it won't be ready till fall for application. Love your videos Brian, praying your health improves every day.

I am relatively new at gardening, and I’m trying to learn as much as I can through reading and videos. Your videos are fantastic and have helped a lot. Many experienced gardeners claim that keeping a garden journal is a great way to avoid mistakes and to capitalize on successes. I’m hoping that in a future video, you would be able to share some journaling techniques and templates. I’ve started writing notes down chronologically but have to think that there is a better way. I do not want to have to read a year’s worth of scribbles, to remember what I did for a particular plant or pest. Any help would be appreciated.

[@SqueaksUofA]

Recommend grabbing a yearly calendar. Notate the day you plant and you can also keep track of your feeding schedule and any plant issues that pop up along the way. More detailed information can be kept in journal entries for each particular crop, such as starting soil mixtures and amendments or planting/growing techniques.

[@tjcl03a]

@@SqueaksUofA Thanks this is helpful. I'll give it a try. All that I would need to do is pair what I currently do, with a calendar. But I have to wonder if there isn't a simple database that could do the same. Perhaps some day...

@@tjcl03a I took a binder, added in notebook paper (and bought a few packs of dividers). I label my dividers with each veg. name, then on the first piece of paper after, write down the kind of seed, the date I sowed the seeds, how many, what/if I used any fertilizer, any organic pesticide use, and especially what kind of soil I planted them in. Once they fruit or don't, I write down the yield, and/or notes about any changes I might need to make. It's ole fashioned pen to paper notes that I wouldn't have any other way.

That's 2 pages facing you with the notebook open. Turn the page. the next 2 pages are a diagram of your garden, sun, shade, fences, planters, water lines, and where you put everything. Just keep it going year after year. With a few pertinent notes each year on what worked and what didnt. And as you discover things you could improved during the season, start sketching out next years diagram.

[@barco581]

Great video! Especially the advice that small amounts of organic fertilizers are key (and save money), and about slow release granular and products like liquid fish for foliar drenches that get taken up right away. Our favorite organic products are WOW Organic Wonder, Espoma, and Neptune's. A couple other points, spoon feeding, meaning smaller doses every day or couple days is shown to produce better results than weekly feedings. Respectfully disagree on the watering early in the morning. If plants are wet with dew and you water you are spreading potential disease such as powdery mildew across the plants. Let them dry out and water in the heat of the day from 11am-3pm ish. This will also help cool the plant during the most stressful time of the day. (I know a lot of people are adamant about being 100% organic. If that is your goal then awesome! That being said, there are recent studies from universities showing the highest yields are coming from a mixture of both organic and synthetic fertilizers. Certainly not 50/50! Probably closer to 80% organic and 20% synthetic. When it is 100 degrees and you have a tomato plant with 10-15 tomatoes that plant is undergoing a lot of fruit load stress and it shows in the plant. Small doses of a quality synthetic fertilizer that also provides a full range of micro nutrients such as Plant Marvel really helps. Paying attention to NPK levels is key also as the last thing we should be doing is applying a super high nitrogen synthetic in the summer when plants really need potassium, boron, calcium and other nutrients to product vegetables/fruits/flowers-especially if someone is close to a waterway. Look at the damage all those high nitrogen chemical fertilizers do to local waterways-the majority of which are used on lawns, an environmental disaster. Going to natural ground cover for the area is key whether in the Pinelands of New Jersey or the desert of Nevada. Soil testing in the spring and fall and tissue testing of the plants during the season is also key to make sure everything is balanced and we are not wasting money on certain products that we do not need, or might even do more harm than good depending on test results.) And some of the most important work is done the previous fall. Adding quality manure and leaf compost, seaweed if one is close to the beach, other organic matter, and a great cover crop such as Winter Rye. Fertilizers can only do so much, even organics, we need a high level of organic matter that is available early in the season.

I have two questions: When you did the previous video discussing Neptune's Harvest and Rock Phosphate, I had just planted my first pole tomato plant in a bucket. It took weeks to get the Rock Phosphate, so I held off planting any more and the first one got just some organic fertilizer.
