Episode 57

Tree Staking, Fertilizer Debates, and Nitrogen Robbing

In this episode of New Southern Garden, Nathan tackles several garden myths that you probably believe. After encouraging doubters to take action and start a garden during another emotional garden rant, Nathan begins a discussion on staking and not staking trees. Should trees be staked? If so, for how long? Nathan explains it all. Then he gets in the middle of the organic and commercial fertilizer debate. Are organic fertilizers really better for the plant? Our environment? Or just our peace of mind? Lastly, he debunks the idea of wood chips stealing nitrogen from your plants. Hint: don't stop mulching.
