I have a gardening tip for you today. Fertilizer can give plants a boost, but too much can cause fertilizer burn, which damages roots and scorches leaves. Yellowing or browning foliage, wilting, and streaks on lawns following recent application can all be signs of excess fertilizer. To prevent it, follow recommended application rates, consider slow-release fertilizer or compost, avoid getting fertilizer on wet leaves, and water plants thoroughly after fertilizing. Avoid fertilizing during very dry conditions, when salts can become concentrated in the soil, and test your soil before adding extra nutrients. If you’ve overfertilized, manually remove excess fertilizer, if possible, then flush the soil with plenty of water to help dilute and wash away excess salts. A little fertilizer can help plants thrive, but more isn’t always better!
