What is going on everyone? Kevin from Epic Gardening here and we're back again with

Erica Nolan from InStar Farms. Now yesterday we did talk a little bit

about some of the things that she and her team do to make sure that both

their own gardens and their clients gardens are really nice and healthy and any issues just get solved pretty much as soon as they're spotted.

So that spoke to observation in the garden and then after you observe what's going on you take those corrective measures

but today we're getting into a little

bit deeper of that topic and it's going to be cool I mean the maintenance of a

garden is something that sounds extremely boring and almost a little routine and

maybe it's even part of something that puts people off of gardening in the first place.

But I think if you can develop a good practice and a good habit for it, your success is going to go up and

your enjoyment of your garden is going to go way, way up.

So, Erica, do you have a framework, I guess, that you run either your own garden through or or your team will run a

client's garden through? Absolutely. So we have a schedule set in motion from the very beginning and that is first fertilizing and

and I guess before I even go into that we want to make sure our garden is set up properly so has it been

topped off with compost annually doesn't need to be mulched do we need to put some

you know soil to top it off to do seedlings in so we're constantly assessing the

garden and its needs throughout the year once plants are in the ground then we

definitely talk about a regular fertilizing schedule.

I'm super pumped about this topic because we recently started doing aerated worm compost tea, which is liquid gold.

Yeah, I just saw you do a video on that actually.

So much freaking...

Super cool.
