I love these short videos! Sometimes I get overwhelmed with too much information since I'm newer to gardening. I love this one because I have forgotten to fertilize when I've planted before and wasn't sure what to do without digging it up! Thank you!!!!

I like the short content videos. Think they are a useful tool to use as ways of reminding people to do specific things in their Garden at certain times of year like fertilizing.

Thank you Luke!
Great information; short & sweet.🙂 This may be especially beneficial for newer gardeners. You know; home, job, family, soccer games, ballet classes ... Always glad to have more and more grow their own!👍
Blessings! 💜

I don’t actually fertilize at all except when I plant. I really don’t have a clue how to keep on top of what each plant needs, haha. I enjoy short videos, I don’t often have time for long ones.😊 Great job on this one!👍

[braleymcmeekan]

I really enjoy the shorter videos. I'm just learning and the bite size tips are easier to absorb for me. Appreciate the tips!

[franceslancaster]

This is exactly the video I needed to see. Thank you so much!❤

[fizzypop]

Actually, I use all three of these methods on different parts of my garden and yard. Great info, as always!

You don't even know how much I love trifecta+
It is a staple in my garden😊

[corrinaunal]

I liked the short video, straight to the point. Learned that I need to mix the fertilizer into the soil when top dressing, so thank you very much!

[Sproutupgardening]

This was super helpful. I had been fertilizing blindly so this is a great video!

[kcmckillip]

I like the short format as well as the long. They are both helpful.

[jackzampella]

Love your short videos. Many times I only have 10 -12 minutes and the short videos are perfect when I don't have a lot of time.

[shelleyhensley]

I love short videos like this as I am still learning as I go and you offer so many that are specific to what to do and when and I demonstrations!!! Thank you so much for all you do and your passion for Momma Earth and working with her growing gardening, growing and harvesting your own herbs and vegetables and fruit and showing others how do do the same!! I am loving geeking out on all your amazing and extremely helpful content !!! 🙏🙏🙏🤸‍♂️🌈☀️🪴🍄🌻🌱🥦🥬🥒🥕🌽🍆🌶🫑🍓🍇🍉

I'm so into your channel 😁 I watched the worm video from 3 years ago; it helped me tremendously. Now, since I am learning about gardening this year, this video is a game changer for me. Thank you... I'm a new subscriber today. 😁

Great video!

I find a general broadcast to be the best. Great for slowly releasing the nutrients. If you have a good mulch or did a good job leveling your beds, runoff from heavy rain shouldn't matter too much and it will naturally work into the soil!

Something ive been trying this year with great results in one of my raised beds is weight replacement. I compost everything i dont use in my gardens. The difference in that bed is i weigh everything that comes out. Not just what goes in compost but every harvest plus what goes to compost or pet pig. I keep a log of each bed ( this bed is elevated with 6 seperated sections.) As soon as i clear a bed i put in the total weight taken out back into the bed in compost ( which is from plants that come from my gardens.) I have had shockingly great results doing it that way. I immediately replant every bed with something as im fortunate enough that i only have about 1.5 months of the year that either nothing grows or if it does itll get killed by cold ( usually 1 bad ice storm every year.) There could be other factors at play but i have noted that my harvests are noticibly bigger than beds directly beside it and especially peas, turnips, and carrots are much sweeter

I would watch anything you put out. These short beginner videos are great though. I'm only a 3 yr gardener so still have alot to learn. I love the longer ones, from planting to harvest, but also love these shorter ones too. Thanks Luke.

[nicholasnarcowich]

At first, I thought you were pulling my leg, but then it made me think about the trees & plants needing to feed, on what we give them to eat. . .Yep, we need to feed it. like all our cars, critters, & plants. Didn't think about my trees so much, but you are so right. Thank you, so very much, & my trees will thank us both :-)

[jordanyeager]

Such a great segment! Just broadcast & raked in-between my sunflower plants!

[heatherpfeil]

I enjoy the long in depth and the short quick education
