Questions and Answers / Re: Mounding potting mix on top of fertilizer... is 5 inches too much?
« Last post by gardendoc on June 11, 2023, 06:24:30 am »I had the good fortune to meet and talk with Blake before he passed away. He always told me to make that mound and put the fertilizer strip on top of the mound. If you're using organic fertilizer then burying into the mound as you describe would be fine. If inorganic like 10-10-10, I believe burying will cause the fertilizer to release the nutrients too quickly. In this case I would redo the EB.
Here's a video I shot a couple of years ago putting the mix in and then discuss the fertilizer strip placement, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7NYiXr98w_Y
