Fertilizer leaching occurs when nutrients wash away from soil into groundwater and waterways, causing pollution and wasting money. Simple changes like using organic fertilizers, proper timing, and soil improvement can prevent this environmental damage while keeping nutrients available for plants.
Over fertilization causes leaf burn, stunted growth, and soil damage that can take years to reverse in your garden. This comprehensive guide shows you how to recognize the warning signs and implement effective recovery strategies to restore your plants and soil health.
Fertilizer burn occurs when plants receive too much concentrated fertilizer, causing leaf yellowing, browning, and root damage from salt buildup in soil. Quick treatment with deep watering and proper fertilizer selection can save affected plants and prevent future damage.
