Thank you all so much for watching and Grow BIG!
Great explanation of an often over complicated topic! YAY for Luke! Question: can Trifecta be dissolved in water and used on houseplants periodically? Any recommendations for how that might work?
Thank you so much for al the information on this episode. I wrote everything down. Hope it helps my up coming garden. I have used fertilizer in the past but just went with blood meal or worm castings. Now i feel i have a better understanding over all. Thank you again. I try on to miss any postings. Faithful viewer. Teresa
When do you personally use the trifecta? When potting up your seedlings from a large cell tray into their own pot; mix it into your soil?
Hey Luke! Thanks for the videos. Just a correction, the element is “molybdenum” with an “n” (we use this all the time in radiology as the precursor for nuclear medicine imaging).
Keep up the great work!
Good video. I am hearing of more issues with persistent herbicides like Grazon in manures, so many want to let people know to be careful when using a manure-based fertilizer.
??? Since I usually get end rot on my tomatoes should I just go ahead and add calcium when I put in the plant?
ANYBODY? I have an off subject question. My house was built in 1910 so it's anybody's guess when this was planted but it's "a garlic". NO MISTAKING with the star shaped flowers. But they were SO SMALL (like 3"? tall) that they blended in with the grass so I thought it was a weed and dug it up until I got close and POW, THAT'S GARLIC. And if memory serves, the flowers were on single stems, not in a globe formation. These could've been planted 100 years ago (if garlic can live that long) so I don't have a clue what they are. They were intentionally planted in a S facing bed and had grown into the lawn there. And not even much of a bulb to speak of. Just really teeny tiny.
So here in Michigan I'm gonna say the ground is/will be "workable" earlier than usual this year. Can you do a video on what seeds you might consider direct sowing now/soon in your area this year?
Love Espoma Holly tone due to not having just soil that needs it, but also because I have well water. Plus Espoma is made in the USA and its organic!
Man made vs. Lab made? U mean naturally occurring vs. Lab made? Or I missed the point.
Fertilizer has always confused me, so I really appreciate you sharing this video! Very informative!
I mistakenly bought triple rock phosphate. Can I grind it to a powder and then use 1/3 in application and not burn roots?
If your soil is already too high in one nutrient while deficient in others, will the fertilizer be adding to that as well as bringing in the more needed nutrients, or does it just balance it all out better?
My husband is allergic to synthetic fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides, and a lot of other synthetic chemicals. I've never used them in my own gardens. It's also why I grow my plants from seed, because we don't know what kind of chemical beginning that greenhouse starts have had. I've worked in a greenhouse one spring and I hated having to put all that chemical fertilizer in with the plants.
Great job explaining!
Trifecta is my one and only fertilizer and the results are impressive!
This is very helpful! Thanks for sharing – Taryn
Wish trifecta+ was more affordable. We have 39 garden beds and that would cost us hundreds of dollars to buy for just trifecta+. Would love to buy it if it was more affordable.
Very nice

Thank you for telling the truth.
I like remembering it like:
NPK
Shoots, Roots, Fruits
Simplistic, but useful when I'm stocking up on fertilizer.. found it interesting he didn't mention plant reproduction for K
Blossom end rot is most often due to inconsistent watering
I can only grow my veggies, herbs & flowers in containers and pots. At the end of the growing season how do I restore the soil back to its optimum ph level and replace the minerals and nutrients ready for the next season? I can’t keep buying bags of soil and throwing away the old soil.
Eg. If I grow a tomato plant in a pot, which nutrients will need to be put back into the soil in the pot? What can I grow the next season in that pot? I have heard of crop rotation but I don’t know much about it. I want to be more efficient with the soil I have.
Just ordered for the first time! Excited to try everything!!
Nice
How do I know when to go to a stonger concentration of phosphate and potassium so that my vegetables fruit?
Love the video. No fluff. Great info thoughout.
