"What's wrong with my [FILL IN THE BLANK]?"  "I water it routinely, it’s fertilized on a six week cycle, I prune it religiously and it’s not thriving!

Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland hear this ALL. THE. TIME.  In fact, the correlation between over-caring for your plant materials and their failure to thrive is a strong one.  

On this episode of The Growing Season,  the McFarland's guide you through the ins and outs of "Overs,"  as in over-watering, over-pruning, over-fertilizing and over-salting.  

What are some simple guidelines for fertilizing your plant materials?  What does stress from overdoing it look like and I can I correct it?

The trio discuss plants that are "over-tolerant" and how to design a garden with these plants in mind.
