Living soil is the way. You should not need *any* added chemical fertilizers (organic nutrients included) whatsoever if you cultivate healthy soil. 💯

Fish emulsion and seaweed/kelp extract can help to give plants a boost as a foliar feed and/or to boost soil biology initially.

Fertilizers are essentially a bandaid that deplete soils over time. Plant health should never rely on continually added amendments. High quality compost, mulch and cover crops are the key to long term fertility that actually builds year over year. Your garden should produce all fertility necessary for a healthier and more productive crops each season.
Why on earth some people insist on applying chemical fertilizers that destroy the soil when you can grow beautiful green mulch that looks like this. The bees absolutely love it. Adds organic matter to the soil, fixes nitrogen, and provides habitat for beneficial insects as well. Healthy soil is living soil. #permaculture #farmstr
