Question
How do you fertilize your garden? Do you have to turn over the soil and sprinkle the fertilizer? What happens to the bark that you put down as a cover? Does it get mixed in with the soil, or do you carefully try to remove the bark? What's the easier way?

Answer
The first thing to do is water the garden. You should not apply fertilizers to dry soil as this causes leaf burn and root stress. If we all removed our mulches to apply fertilizers, most of us would not feed our gardens. It would be too time consuming. You can apply granular fertilizers directly over the bark. After application, water well to wash the food down below the mulch. Our EB Stone Organics line has several different types to choose from . I recommend that you visit one of our stores and let one of the nursery people know what types of plants you have in the garden. They will be happy to make a recommendation.
