2·1 day agobut too much can burn your soil. same thing for industrial fertilizers.
My dad likes to say this about gardening, and instead of applying a weekly does of fertilizer in one go each week (as recommended), distributes it throughout the week when he waters the garden. Literally microdosing, so you get 1/7 of the weekly dose each day
