When and how should I fertilize my garden plants for optimal growth?

To encourage robust growth, fertilize your garden plants when they show signs of active growth, typically from early spring through mid-summer. It’s crucial not to over-fertilize; less is often more. We suggest starting with organic compost or a balanced, slow-release granular fertilizer worked into the soil around the base. Observe your plants; if they seem healthy and vibrant, they might not need much at all. Water thoroughly after application.
