FERTILIZING
GREENS




Most gardeners know that vegetable crops need fertilizer to produce
well, but sometimes the questions of what kind, when and how much
can cause confusion.

The nutrients your leafy greens need are available in commercial
fertilizers such as 5-10-10 or 10-10-10, and in organic fertilizers
like bonemeal, bloodmeal and dehydrated manures. The numbers 5-10-10
or 10-10-10 refer to the percentages of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P)
and potassium (K) in the bag of fertilizer. They're always listed in
that order, too: N-P-K.

FERTILIZING
LEAFY
GREENS




Leafy greens are easy to please. Before planting the seeds, work a
Vegetable Food containing timed-release fertilizer into the soil.
Because leafy greens often need more water than other crops, it is
important to use a fertilizer that will not readily wash away.

Most leafy greens need no further fertilizing. However, if you live
where winters are mild and you grow spinach or chard from fall until
spring, lightly fertilize the plants near winter’s end to give them
ample nutrients to make a last surge of new growth.
