What Actually Works? Fertilizer, Empty Space, and Real Results


Listen Later

It’s finally happening… 👀


Baby squash and cucumbers are showing up, tomatoes are flowering, and now we get to see what actually produces.


In this episode, I’m breaking down the real experiment behind my garden:


* Testing 5-5-5 vs Tomato-tone vs fish emulsion

* Already going through 4 lbs of fertilizer (and what that means for cost)

* Filling empty space with radishes to maximize production

* Comparing raised beds, grow bags, and in-ground planting


With fertilizer costs potentially rising, this season isn’t just about growing food—it’s about figuring out what it actually costs to grow it.


I’m tracking everything… and we’ll see what wins.


Follow along for real results, not guesses.
