Just planted containers? Start with the soil. 🌱
I’m using Sprout_01 as a Soil Life Kickstart for these newly planted containers.
Sprout_01 is the first step in the Essential Nutrient Protocol and is typically used to help kickstart soil life before planting — but it can also be used during the growing season anytime your garden needs a little extra support.
Container soil dries out faster and gets depleted more quickly than in-ground beds, so I want to support the soil while these plants are getting established.
For this application, I scattered the granules onto the soil surface and around the base of the plants, then watered everything in.
Simple, quick, and soil-first.
Save this for your next container planting. 🌱
