• Michelle Roberts, host of the Growing the Good Life podcast, discussed three organic fertilizers that she found plants love: Espoma Garden Tone, AgroThrive and Alfalfa Meal.
• Garden Tone contains quick release fertilizer components for immediate growth as well as slow release nitrogen for up to 6 weeks. It also contains beneficial microbes.
• Agro Thrive is a liquid organic fertilizer which can be watered down and used with seedlings and established plants by spraying or adding to drip irrigation systems. It offers an affordable solution at 50 cents per gallon of diluted fertilizer.
• Alfalfa meal provides high nitrogen content without the use of animal waste. It also contains phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and other trace minerals.
• An honorable mention of kelp help was made; it is full of B vitamins, growth hormones and amino acids which can be foliar fed for struggling plants due to poor soil conditions.
