Question: How often do I need to fertilize the garden?

Answer: If you’re using a quality granular material, probably just once a month through harvest. If you opt for a water-soluble fertilizer, you’ll probably need to apply it once a week. Organic fertilizers break down much more slowly, so just two or three applications per season will be needed, but be prepared to supplement them with inorganic nutrients if your plants appear stunted or “hungry.”
