but too much can burn your soil. same thing for industrial fertilizers.

My dad likes to say this about gardening, and instead of applying a weekly does of fertilizer in one go each week (as recommended), distributes it throughout the week when he waters the garden. Literally microdosing, so you get 1/7 of the weekly dose each day

    that's a good way to do it. you'll see plants burn up before the soil is too damaged and you'll even be able to save the plants in most cases.

    I've thought about adding a tank to my water lines just to make this easier to distribute and I'd probably go this route.
