About this episode

This episode discusses the importance of soil fertility and specific fertilizers for root crops during mid-season gardening.

Hey Neighbor! This week on Row by Row, we’re getting back to the roots of a successful garden by talking all about fertility. Mid-season is when your crops really start telling you what they need, and if you’re not paying attention to your soil, you could be leaving a lot of harvest on the table. We’re taking a closer look at what your garden needs right now, with a special focus on root crops like sweet potatoes and how to keep them growing strong through the heat of summer. We’ll break down the importance of NPK levels, how each nutrient plays a role in plant development, and what to look for when your plants are lacking. Plus, we’ll touch on a few common pest issues you might be seeing this time of year and how to handle them before they get out of hand. If you want healthier plants, better yields, and a more productive garden, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss. Grab a seat and let’s grow together.
