Do You Actually Need Fertilizer? (Most Get This Wrong)

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can grow a garden without fertilizer… the answer isn’t as simple as yes or no.

In this video, I break down what actually happens when you skip fertilizer—and why the answer completely depends on how you’re growing. Containers, raised beds, and in-ground gardens all behave differently, and understanding that can save you from wasted time, money, and disappointing results.

In this video we’ll cover:
• Why fertilizer is essential in containers
• When raised beds can (and can’t) get away without it
• How in-ground soil can sometimes do the work for you
• The real difference between synthetic and organic fertilizers
• Why fast growth isn’t always healthy growth

I also explain how fertilizers like hydrolyzed fish (such as Neptune’s Harvest) work differently than typical fish emulsions—and why that matters if you’re trying to build soil, not just feed plants.

And if you want to enter the Neptune’s Harvest giveaway, just drop a comment and let me know how you’re growing this year—containers, raised beds, or in-ground.
