Foliar fertilising

Soil health is the backbone of organic gardening, but most backyard beds have deficiencies that, for all our hard work in preparing our dirt, limit how well our veges grow. There are also crops like corn and other heavy feeders that do much better with a regular top up of NPK (don't forget Ca and Mg but that a different post). I am a firm believer in putting in a fertiliser program to get the greatest yields from my garden. Foliar spraying fertilisers is a great way to get the best out of your plant and your fertiliser. Always use organic and follow the manufacturers recommendations. Remember to fertilise in the cool of the day and always spray the top and bottom of the leaves. Plants absorb nutrient better through the bottom of their leaves.
