How to Choose the Right Fertilizer for Your Soil
The starting point for any fertilizer program is a soil test. It tells you which nutrients are already sufficient and which are limiting your yield.
Micronutrients like zinc and copper are needed in small quantities but have an outsized effect on plant health when missing. Macronutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK) drive overall growth, flowering, and fruiting.
Once you know your soil's gaps, match products accordingly — for example, zinc sulphate for zinc-deficient soils, or a balanced NPK blend for general growth support.
Re-testing every season helps you fine-tune the program instead of guessing, saving input costs while protecting yield.
