Mittleider Garden Fertilizer
We all want health plants and delicious fruits and vegetables. The way that happens is by feeding them exactly what they need. 3 nutrients they get from the all, 12 they get from the Earth. Hope that manure or compost is enough.
The problem that we have with traditional organic gardening is when the plant is producing heavy fruit near the end of their season they need the weekly feed of nutrition. It is completely sustainable. Magic micromix mixed with the all purpose fertilizer and epsom salts provides the nutrition to completely feed the typical family garden for an entire year.
Because we don’t know how available fertilizer will be you simply need 5 bags for 5 seasons. Think about how much space it would take for 5 years of cow manure or compost! It is much more sustainable. I pick up an extra bag of fertilizer and Mittleider then you know you have all the nutrients your garden will need. Magic micro nutrient mix, seed banks, epsom salts and fertilizer is all you need for a perfect mix.
Don’t mix the levels too low or too high. Use a bathroom scale, the weekly feed bucket, and 25 pounds of mix. Epsom salts, Mittleider Magic Micromix, watch for clumping when you make your mix. Perlite will help absorb the moisture and will prevent clumping when you add it to your garden. Apply 12 ounces of weekly feed fertilizer for each 10’ raised garden bed. Keep it in your garden shed in a waterproof 5 gallon bucket.
Get a tool that can pry the lid off and keep it with your feed buckets in your shed. Keep the moisture out of your fertilizer. If you want to mix larger quantities you can print out the sheet mentioned in the video.
Follow the instructions in the micronutrient mix. Diseased plants in the garden are very often just undernourished. You’ll see healthy plants with more nutritious fruit when you feed your soil weekly.
Buy using the Mittleider gardening weekly feed fertilizer mixture you can have a sustainable, healthy garden. By using the weekly feed you can store a year’s supply of fertilizer in a 5 gallon bucket. You don’t need to truck in loads of manure, compost or mulch. You’ll save a ton of money and have healthier plants and easier gardening.

just do “back to eden gardening”,… that will be enough for nutriens
+TRe’ CooL I’m guessing you are new to my YouTube channel. I have two years
of videos of me trying the BTE method. The side by side comparison says it
all.
Do you have to change anything between vegetative and flowering cycles? Or
do you feed the same all the way through the grow? Do you do any kind of
flush cycle towards the end of fruit/vegetable production? Your great
results speak for themselves. Hats off to ya. I really thought Organics was
the best way. I will research this some more but it seems pointless. After
seeing a few of your other videos, you never do anything with out
thoroughly researching it first. Lastly, do you feel that your getting
plenty of nutrition from your produce? Blows my mind that your not seeing
any deficiencies, pest pressure etc. I bookmarked your link and will order
for a small side x side test. Thanks for the information.
Ebay has 13-13-13 with reasonable shipping cost
I have been watching a lot of videos of people using the mittleider
gardening method and I have noticed a lot of “organic” gardeners leaving
comments saying not to use the mittleider method. Are these people
threatened by the lower cost of mittleider gardening? The production? Or is
it just a sanctimonious attitude? If people want to grow their own food I
don’t see a problem in what method they choose.
I just made my 4 garden beds , 2 of my beds are 4 ft wide , 16 ft long and
8″ high.
the other 2 beds are 2 ft wide , 16 ft long and 8″ high. can you help me
out with how much pre plant fertilizer per bed and how much weekly fee goes
into my beds , I will be ready in another week to mix it all and start
planting.

where did you get that giant bucket of epsom salts?
I am confused by using linear feet instead of square feet for the
application of the weekly mix. So how much weekly feed per square foot
should I be applying? For example, I have several 64×3 foot beds. I also
have several raised beds of various sizes. How much weekly feed should I
put in each bed?
+Jeff Deatherage Thank you for asking. The instructions that come with the
micro nutrient package that you’ll need to mix your weekly feed says,
“Using your hand, spread a narrow band of MIttleider Weekly Feed between
the plant rows on the soil surface (approx. 4 cups per 120 sq. ft.). If
possible, keep the mixture 4 inches away from the stems of the plants and
off the leaves.”
+LDSPrepper Thank you!
David, can you clarify what you mean about adding 10% lime instead of
perlite. Is the “10%” the concentration of the lime? Or is the 10% the
amount of weight you add, i.e.) you add 2.5lbs of lime to 25lbs of weekly
fertilizer mix? Thanks for the info.
How is the Mittleider method “sustainable” when you promote the use of
chemical-based fertilizers that are created by the petroleum industry? Most
of what you show in this video is a byproduct of petroleum production. You
mention that the minerals are sustainable, but not the rest. Organic
gardening principles are 100% sustainable. If you are planning for the
zombie apocalypse, well I’m sure you’ll still be able to hop on over to the
local Walmart to buy your fertilizers ROTFL! ;-)
That’s why you buy five years worth and store in five 5 gallon buckets.
Where are you going to get enough or make enough compost and fertilizer
when SHTF happens?
Right, because the end of the world will happen within five years of you
buying your buckets of fertilizer. Totally. First, stop planning for the
end of the world. That is the first step to leading a healthy and happy
life. Don’t live for the end, live for the now. The earth provides
everything that you need. Forests are some of the most fertile places
around, yet you don’t see mother nature sprinkling 15-15-15 fertilizer on
it. Everything the plants need are provided by the waste from other plants
and some animals. Follow nature, she knows best.
Try growing a decent vegetable garden with straight soil from a forest. You
won’t have very good luck with the average forest soil, most of it isn’t
nearly as fertile as you seem to believe. It certainly isn’t comparable to
the soil organic gardeners custom build by combining all sorts of
ingredients that come from all over.
The soil in an organic garden provides the same nutrients to plants as
using something like 15-15-15 in conjunction with trace minerals. The
“organic” soil has to be continually built up to keep it from being
depleted, just as so called “synthetic” or “chemical” fertilizer has to be
added if using that method.
While I see nothing wrong with organic gardening except all of the extra
time and work to get the same results as using readily available
fertilizers and trace minerals/elements it appears to be more like an
irrational religion based on philosophy than something based on scientific
reality. Most naturally occurring food crops are rarely found that are as
bountiful as found in a man made garden.
How much lime do I use? 10% of what?
+Joe Stubbernubbensteingenson Yes. of the total gallons or of the lime
container??????
+Joe Stubbernubbensteingenson 10% of the wight of the weekly feed nutrient
mix.
i grow in 55 gal plastic barrels cut in half. how much ferilizer would you
put in it. i have 50 of these. thank you.
THANKS FOR THE QUICK RESPONSE AND EXECELLENT ANALYSIS
hey david….my name is andy,,, there is possible to mix sawdust and sand
to make this in buckets….
Don’t overlook what David says at around minute 5 in regards to adding
Perlite (now lime) to the mix. My first batch without that stuff is wet as
can be and definitely clumps up a lot. I’ll now follow the instrux as per
what he says here and hopefully it’ll stay dry.
Have you got any special tomato feed cheers
I’m sorry this is not “sustainable”, it’s just easier for you! It is
actually bad for the environment!
There is so much soil all around you, but you choose to depend on something
that is manufactured!
This is one of the reasons why we have climate change!
you should not pre-mix the fertilizers; because the granulates are of
different size and density, the small and heavy particules will gravitate
to the bottom, making the mix shifted outside of the originally intended
proportion.
do you know the math on figuring out how much fertilizer to apply to the
boxes? I have 3×6 boxes
Why do you quote using the old English? Don’t you find it odd that the Book
of momon is in King James English when that was NOT the common language of
Joseph Smith. Hmmm something don’t add up.
