Discover the simplicity of growing lettuce in your garden! Unlike fruit-bearing plants, lettuce is harvested for only its leafy greens, making its fertilization needs straightforward. The key is Nitrogen, promoting robust leaf and stem development. While a touch of phosphorus and potassium enhances root and overall plant health, lettuce often thrives with a nitrogen boost alone.

In this video, I share my preference for organic granular fertilizers in my garden, not just for their "organic" label but for the unique way they nourish plants. These fertilizers require breakdown from the soil biome, including beneficial fungi, bacteria, and insects. The gradual release over time, up to 2 years, ensures a sustained and steady nutrient supply. Although it takes about 2 weeks to kick in, the benefits span months to years, providing a stark contrast to water-soluble fertilizers' instant but short-lived effects. While non-organic slow-release options exist, they might not match the longevity of natural organic fertilizers.

Stay tuned as I revisit in a few weeks to showcase the remarkable growth of these lettuce plants, a testament to the power of thoughtful and sustainable fertilization practices. Elevate your gardening game with these insights and witness the results firsthand!
