Read This: How to ‘Fix’ Your Garden Soil After Using Chemical Fertilizers Copper sulfate is also a bactericide, and as such, is incredibly harmful to soil life. Fungicide will effectively kill all of the positive fungal connections in the soil. If you do not have fungal blight (a serious plant disease) you should not be using copper sulfate in your garden (and I would argue there are better solutions than a fungicide to deal with your fungal blight problem). I’ve grown over 150 vegetable & flower gardens and I have never seen nor heard the need of using copper sulfate in the garden, except as a fungicide. The blue color of those crystals is derived from copper sulfate. But I will straight up say, that NO Miracle-Gro products belong in our gardens, especially that methy blue crystal stuff you may have added to a watering can or two in the past. I started this garden blog to help people become better gardeners by working with, not against, earth’s natural systems. I don’t intend to shame you for using Miracle-Gro. If you’re a gardener, they will change your life in the best way.
I encourage you to check some of these books out.
Now I own my own flower farming business where I garden on two flower farms in an earth-loving, regenerative way.Īll of the resources I’ve used to gain the information on this blog, and in this post, are at the bottom of this blog entry.
First, I was an urban farmer working nine plots in Detroit, then I was an edible landscaper in Chicago where I gardened in over 150 backyards. I have experience growing organic farms and gardens professionally for 10 years. I am a regenerative flower farmer in Western New York, just north of Buffalo.
