Go Gardening Show - Season 4 - Episode 3

What's with all the mystery around fertilizers? There are different varieties. What do the numbers on the bag mean? What is weed and seed? Then you have to know when the best time to apply fertilizers is. This month, Go Gardening brings you the straight story about fertilizers and answers all of those questions for you. The Go Gardening team headed over to Milberger's Nursery where our host Mark Peterson gave us a masterclass on all things fertilizer. And, since the end of April is the time to fertilize, you probably should watch this segment soon.

 

One of Go Gardening's goals is to find those "hidden gems" in San Antonio so you can visit and enjoy the great outdoors. So for our second segment this month, the crew took a look around the Walker Ranch Park on West Avenue. We noticed there was an abundance of great understory trees there. These are the same Texas native trees that people can use in their landscapes. They are drought tolerant, some have beautiful flowers and some are pollinators and attract smaller wildlife as well. Mark's degree is in forestry so he was right at home talking about each of these great understory trees.

 

Go Gardening's mission is to help people conserve water in the Edwards and Trinity Aquifers by teaching homeowners how to convert turfgrass areas to low-to-no water use landscapes featuring native plants.
