Good Morning all,
Hubby and I have been busy since the beginning of March planting many new evergreen shrubs and trees. We ammended the soil, raised beds, mulched and watered. Now I am wondering about the best type of fertilizer to use. The recent issue of Geogia Gardening Magazine has an article on fertilizing plants. The author recommends a 16-4-8 fertilizer for March, May and September. George Reeves recommends 10-10-10, in March or April and then switching over to a 15-3-15 fertilizer in May and June. I'll be honest, I am at a lost as to what the numbers mean and with the big investment we have made in new plantings, I very much want to do the best thing to ensure a heatlhy landscape.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
