Question

Outdoor flowers, northern California valley.

Answer 1

An all purpose balanced fertilizer like 10-10-10 in a slow release form is often recommended. You can also look up certain plant varieties on our website for specific fertilization tips. A soil test is always the best bet because it tells you exactly what nutrients may be lacking. Your local cooperative extension can help with a soil test or you can buy kits.
