How do I fertilize my outdoor plants effectively?

To fertilize outdoor plants effectively, start by choosing the right fertilizer based on your plant type. Do you know what plants you have?

I have tomatoes and petunias. What should I use?

For tomatoes, a balanced fertilizer with a higher phosphorus content is great. For petunias, a general-purpose fertilizer works well. How often do you plan to fertilize?

I was thinking every month. Is that good?

Yes, fertilizing every month is a good schedule for both tomatoes and petunias. Just make sure to follow the instructions on the fertilizer package for the right amount.

Thanks! Should I water them before or after fertilizing?

It's best to water your plants before applying fertilizer. This helps prevent root burn and ensures better nutrient absorption.
