The soil is alive, and a healthy plant starts with healthy soil. One
way to keep your soil healthy is to ensure that they have enough food
to keep them multiplying and happy through winter. Although bacteria
and fungi moove very slowly during colder weather, they still feed and
still need food. The soil food web is important, so don’t neglect it!

at low temperatures their nutrient requirement is very low because their enzymes work very slowly. By the way, the most limiting nutrient at low temperatures is free sugar, not soluble minerals or nitrogen. So if you want to wake up the microbes it would be best to add a bunch of table sugar to the fertilizer. For instance, fall leaves on the forest floor barely decompose during wintertime, because the cellulose breakdown is almost suspended. That's why we like to compost at high temperatures where cellulose&co break down quickest.
You don't leave that soil bare, do you? Without mulch there will be run off from rain that will lessen the benefit of fertilizing.
Did you add a covering of leaves later like in the rest of the bed?
cover bed with leaves. helps maintain rhyzosphere and stop depletion of soil thru runoff. Aids in humites fulvtites etc. if u forgot, dont worry we all make mistakes.
Just cover the garden bed with organic matter that's all you need!!!! and they will say thank you! save money.
Migardener hello from Nevada,my garden still have production i know in the winter is a blessing but remember i have my but moments in summer time is hot like hell,but my garden has all the winter vegetables ,can i still put that fertilizer in my beds and containers..thank you for the tips..i love you'r videos…!!
I see your out of trifecta when are you getting new batches in? Thanks.
I love, love, love your Trifecta. In spring is there anything other than another application of Trifecta and compost/worm castings you need to add to your soil?
Your videos are getting me excited for gardening season!! Can't wait to refer back to your growing guides in Spring and Summer
Just ordered a bag of Trifecta+ for some containers and new raised beds! I look forward to seeing the results 🙂
Do you ship to Canada or can you recommend a good fertilizer for a beginner in Canada? Love your videos
Last winter my neighbors were dumbfuzzled when I was putting on a liquid fertilizer all winter, it was kelp, Fulvic & Humic acids blended with Sulfate of Potash to build the soil.. This year I'm starting a new plot by sheet mulching with cardboard, covering it with compost, adding some organic fertilizer (like your Trifecta) and covering it with a raised bed mix as a mulch.. Planning to go No-Till by adding compost in layers. My philosophy is to let it rot all winter and be ready in the spring.. Feeding the soil food web is important.
Some warm days here on eastern shore of maryland. taking care of my raise bed this weekend. Your videos are informative and this year i am going to set up bed to core method and high density . Kale,lettuce and broccoli beds. instead of cabbage could i plant beet? I had alot of cucumber beetles last year. What would u recommend to control these pest?
How can I get trifecta ?
We had a BIG tree root problem. We solved the tree root problem by elevating some of our beds or placing a pond liner in the bottom of the other beds. Essentially our raised beds are 8’ by 4’ large containers.
At the end of the year I add a bunch of mostly composted yard waste with lots of worms and cover with 4 inches of chopped leaves. Do I need to add purchased products.
What about the cost of all these extra care compared to the end results, I mean is there a substantial increase in the produce
My trifecta should show up today, gonna till it into the land and let it sit over the winter and get the ground ready for spring.
Fall leaves, coffee grounds and some egg shells will accomplish the same for less money and hassle.
your always out of stock
will the microbes survive if the first foot of soil is frozen over winter?
The new Carl Sagan of gardening…great video! You’re information has really been helpful .
I take it you sell this shite? Just do a video without trying to sell me rubbish.
Are you kidding! Just keep the leaves and stuff on top of the soil and done.
Sprinkle some wheat flour on the surface, and water in some sulphur free molasses. Cover with a layer of leaves.
I've been using blood and bone meal but I don't think its enough. I'm going to get this Trifecta from your store. Thank you.
Trifecta will keep us from having to add rock dust, right?
Do you need to use trifecta and rock dust when preparing a winter garden for spring planting?
I re-amend in fall with:
One Shot by NFTG, azomite, langbeinite, and 1-2 inches compost.
After applying trifecta. Do I cover with leaves or mulch ?? I have wine barrels.
nice job!
