Using Fertilizer in Your Garden

November 12, 2014

fertilizing plantsI have been using a nitrogen based fertilizer. I have baby bok choy and Chinese water spinach, both have the same condition. I think it's too much nitrogen. Can this cause the problem of curled distorted leaves? Thanks. I hope to see what others think.

Usually that is "leaf curl" a disease that is very contagious in plants. First quarantine the plants. There is a product called Daconil that is great for that.

Curled leaves can also be a symptom of uneven watering.

Depending on the size of the pot, or area of ground, I just grab a fist full and throw it in then water. I have very tiny hands though so I don't over do it.

Lilacs don't like to bloom if you fertilize them. You get all bush and no flowers. Compost or mulch would help truly poor soil and the plant too!

I wouldn't. The plants are under enough stress just keeping their roots wet and not drying out. I typically stop fertilizing around the beginning of August and I'm in a cold weather climate.
