Fertilization is an important procedure that can be carried out both in the fall and in the spring.
Some inexperienced gardeners do not understand the difference between the two types of fertilizers, which leads to problems with crop growth.
Autumn and spring fertilizers differ quite significantly, as they perform different tasks.

What is the difference between autumn and spring fertilizers
When selecting autumn fertilizers for digging, it is important to choose the right fertilizer. The composition should help winter-hardy and perennial plants strengthen and develop the root system.
Autumn fertilizers are applied from mid-September to mid-October so that after digging the nutrients mix with the soil.
In autumn, you need to apply mineral fertilizers in combination with organic ones – you need potassium, calcium and phosphorus.
In spring, plants need to grow, develop, form ovaries and bear fruit. Therefore, crops need nitrogen most of all. Complex fertilizers are suitable.
