Q.Can I Use Compost/manure Even After I Have Planted And Waiting For The Harvest?

Zone Soweto, Johannesburg | phemelokebinelang2 added on January 3, 2020 | Answered

I have planted butternut, watermelon and black pumpkin on the same soil that was never fertilized before planting. So, although the plants are growing they’re also dying, I’m not sure it’s because I didn’t put in fertilizer before planting. In instances where they are growing, they are very slow and not growing enough to become big. They remain small forever.
