  I would love to see these trials run with multiple plants in each experimental group.

  Your conclusion is synthetic= aphids. But you also stated that aphids are attracted to an abundance of nitrogen. Therefore, the 12-4-8 would naturally be more aphid centric than the 4-6-8, regardless of fertilizer composition. For your next cabbage crop, maybe repeat the experiment with the same N-P-K values for both fetilizer types. That would be really telling.

  Another Banger! I always love these experimental videos. I have a lot of fertilizer ready to go. Definitely feeding and watering more this year,bigger pots and more mulch!

  I have plans to build some huge garden beds this summer and it'll be my first time getting into it. These videos are super useful as a new gardener.

  I would love to see these experiments again with liquid fertilizers. I typically plant in a good quality potting mix then start in with a liquid fertilizer after a month or so and fertilize every two weeks. I also use liquid on seedlings right after they get their first set of true leaves and then every two weeks until they’re in the ground. I use Fox Farm’s Grow Big liquid fertilizer. I had a neighbor once accuse me of growing some kind of mutant zucchini because the leaves got so huge.

  My personal experience Kellogg ruined my garden year last year. I bought that exact same kind. Every where I used it failed, got weak, infested, and expensive. I had to dig and dump it all out it was awful. Killed most of my seedlings I started from seed in January. By May I had to scrap most of my pepper plants, flowers, beans. Also killed my Salvia, I have to dump concrete planters and refill them. Trim the Salvia and hope it came back. It did but was almost worthless. <br><br>Every other bed was fine. But the amount of bugs the weak plants attracted was atrocious. We used the dug up Kelloggs as mulch on the ground. It is 100% mulched wood no soil at all. Holds zero nutrients and no plants even rooted past the stage when planted.<br><br>My best year was Miracle grow and Vigoro. With bone meal, and worm castings.

  Pls do more of these types of experiments!! That are so fun to watch and so educational! I would love to do more of these myself but just don’t have the money or space.

  my raised beds are in the middle of one acre of Montana prairie dirt. Even dandelions have a hard time with the dirt. your last few videos have given me some great info...first i have not been using enough fertilizer and second the organic is better long term in a raised bed. &nbsp;Just watching the aphids problem in this vid convinced me to stick with organic despite the increasing cost.
