Step #3 – Fertilize as You Plant

One of the best things that you can do for your garden is to fertilize as you plant because, you want to give the plants nutrients that they can feed on as they grow.

Thankfully, there are a ton of excellent commercially available fertilizers at stores like Walmart and Home Depot. One of the most conventional fertilizers that you might want to try is Miracle Grow All Purpose Fertilizer or Jobe’s Organic Bone Meal Fertilizer.
