  1. Cool video Luke! The only thing I want to know is why are you mixing a granular fertilizer with water? It's not necessary to do that. In fact all you need to do is add the granules to the soil and water it in thoroughly. The fertilizer will last longer for you as well. I used to sell chemicals and fertilizer for the company I used to work for. We went to a bunch of certification seminars and that's what we were told to do. Place the correct dosage on the soil surface mix it in the top few inches without disturbing the roots and then water in thoroughly. Why do you mix yours with water? I'm just curious 😀 Do you think it works better that why? What's you opinion?

  2. Many thanks for the tips on growing onions. For some reason I thought adding N to onions was bad and P was good. Boy did I have that backwards. Well I still got some good onions considering the poor weather we had early in the season.

  3. Thx for the tips, Luke, esp the one about not using phosphorus on onions.  You always have the greatest in depth info like this that I usually don't have a clue about.  Your onions are looking great and I predict a show winner!

  4. I don't know why I can't grow onions or garlic. I planted a few garlic in a small raised bed and there are 4 garlic that sprouted. I'm planning to get elephant garlic, since they are huge maybe they are stronger and easier to grow. Great video. 

  5. Luke, you never replied to this question a few years back.
    I want to know why are you mixing a granular fertilizer with water instead of applying directly into the soil? The fertilizer will last longer for you as well. Do you think it works better that why? What's you opinion?
