In this episode, Big City Gardener discusses the importance of amending and fertilizing garden beds between seasons. He emphasizes the need to plan for the fall garden and remove old plants to make way for new seedlings. By leaving the roots in the soil, beneficial microorganisms are preserved, contributing to the soil's health. Amending the soil with organic matter helps restore nutrients and improve its structure. Big City Gardener recommends a combination of amendments such as vermicompost, compost, azomite, kelp meal, cotton seed meal, crab meal, and fish meal. He advises using fewer amendments or fertilizers to prevent over fertilization and burning of plants.
