If you see these signs, you need to assess your soil health!

Before you go applying your 10-10-10, let's think about the root of the plant health problem.

1. If water pools on the surface instead of soaking in, or you can't easily push a finger into the soil, your ground is compacted. Roots can't breathe, and nutrients can't move.

2. When plants look starved (pale, yellow leaves) no matter what you do, the issue often isn't what you're feeding them - it's that the soil biology isn't there to help them absorb it.

3. Soil is bare and rock hard between plants. Exposed soil bakes in the sun, loses moisture fast, and becomes a hostile environment for the microbes that make nutrients available to your plants.

Dumping more fertilizer on unhealthy soil is like giving a malnourished person pre-workout.

Want sustained health, rather than a growth spurt?

Apply mulch - wood chips, straw, or shredded leaves protect and feed your soil as they break down.
Get roots in the soil - groundcovers and cover crops keep soil cool, moist, and alive.
Compost - adds the microbial life that makes everything work.
