With what and how do I fertilize my home vegetable garden?
Overview
Vegetables grown in most California soils often require some fertilizer for best growth. Nitrogen is the most important nutrient and can be applied using either organic forms such as manures or compost or inorganic forms (chemical fertilizers) to supply needed nutrients. Often, a combination of the two forms gives better results than either used alone.
