How Does Fertilizer Help Plants Grow?
Basic fertilizer has three elements. Consider a bag of fert that reads 20-10-15. Twenty stands for nitrogen, which provides good green leaf color, leaf development and branching. Ten stands for phosphorus, which provides healthy root systems and aids in seed production and fruit formation. Fifteen stands for potassium which provides sugars and starches for good vegetable flavor. Get the numbers that suits your needs the best. PS These three numbers always appear in this order.
