How does fertilizer help plants grow?

Answer by  Latin4 (11170)

You should take some soil to the nursery and get it tested. If its okay you don't need fertilizer, if it is not that they should tell you what you need. Rain water is great for plants and if possible I would set out containers when it rain to collect. Regular water sometimes does not have enough nutrients.
