This is a compilation of 3 videos. If you watched the (my) single videos on Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium, you have already seen these. I talk in detail about what each fertilizer does, how it works, how to add it to your garden (I show several products), talk about deficiencies and how the plant looks and give general principles for you to better understand the fertilizers N-P-K. You will fully understand how to use N-P-K in your gardens.

    for the nitrogen you said to plant lot of bean and chop them and keep the root, so it will make slow nitrogen into the soil. But are been root really that rich in nitrogen?

    Few questions:
    How to apply a pee as nitrogen for the plants? Shoud it stay few days mixed with a water or to use it immediately ?
    Banana peel will it raise the acidity? I planted tomatoes in too acidic soil and the leaves turned yellow so i added an ash.Can i use banana peel compost tea if the soil is acidic?

    Hi Gary, so if I use the remnants of a barbecue with a wood mixture of a hardwood and also of a charcoal briquettes, would that ash be usable where if I added it to the Banana trees that are growing as a supplement to potash or should I add it to the compost for distribution ?  Thanks!

    Excellent video. I use AZOMITE in good quantity but still learned a lot from this video.  I try to keep it all organic and this info will help me big time.

    Thanks again, Gary, for another great video I've been searching the web for potassium help. I've had problems with my tomatoes the past two years, they have had orange or sometimes green shoulders and someone suggested I add  some extra potassium to the plants. Now I know what I need to do, thanks

    Good vid, have to disagree about inorganic Potassium however. Having started up a series of raised beds, filled with poor clay soil from around my yard I found the potassium deficiency signs you described in my tomatoes, As this was not fully understood until (as a K deficiency) until the plants were fairly mature.
    The soil is VERY heavy clay Potassium sulfate was used quite successfully to correct the K issues, however a double dressing was required to do this due to the very heavy nature of the clay (similar in structure to oxford clay.)

    As 200g of 50% K fertilizer was used per bed I would have had to have used 1.25kg per bed of an 8% K fertilizer to reach the same correction?
