Dead Plant Success!

Many people just assume caring for house plants, a garden, the lawn, roses or anything related to nature is difficult.

With over 25 years of commercial growing experience, millions of gallons through the pump house and planting millions of plants, the secret to plant success is clear to me.

The key is - Experience! However, all the experience I’ve acquired has come from “killing plants.” Yes you read that right - Killing Plants. I’ve learned so much from trying different soils, new fertilizers, watering schedules and amounts of water… with less than stellar results. Not to mention being “out there” in the plants.

One of the best growers I have ever had the pleasure to meet carries one plant growing “secret” many don’t use. I’ll share it with you. He makes sure his shadow falls on his plants everyday! He’s out in the greenhouse, or the field, watching, looking and scouting.

The good growers have learned by getting dirty. But they also shared with other growers which helped them learn from other trials and mistakes. You can learn from my plant success and and failures, plus save yourself lots of trials.
