Fertilizers play an important part in keeping plants healthy and thriving. Whether you are growing trees, shrubs, flowers, fruits, or vegetables, maintaining soil health and using fertilizers is a key part of any annual gardening cycle.
The three main nutrients for plant health are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, but calcium, magnesium and sulfur are also important along with certain key micronutrients. Fertilizers contain specific mixtures of nutrients depending on their purpose, some are balanced and ‘multi-purpose’ while others can be focused on developing fruit or encouraging leafy growth.
