White Strawberries: Growing Food for Wellness & Joy
Help! My Garden Isn’t Thriving | Mastering the Garden
🌱 In this episode, I’m tackling a problem I hear all the time — what to do when your garden isn’t thriving.
Maybe your garden used to be amazing, but now your plants are struggling. Maybe you are hesitant to continue to purchase soil and your plants aren't thriving. Maybe your potting mix has released all it's fertiliser, or maybe you're starting from scratch! Leaves are pale, flowers are sparse, and growth is slow. I’ll walk you through practical ways to fix infertile garden soil and bring your garden back to life.
I’ll cover:
🌿 What to add to a garden bed to support growth
🌱 How organic soil amendments like cow manure, seaweed, and banana peels can help
⚡ Why N-P-K nutrients for plants are essential, and what each one does
💧 How to manage soil moisture like a “wrung-out sponge”
🌸 The take-home message: diversity is key — feed your soil, feed your plants, and your garden will thrive
