With the deluge of rain ongoing in the East and relentless heat in the West. It would be a great time to supplement your plants with a foliar spray. Plants absorb nutrients through there leaves and stems, using stomata little openings similar to pores of our skin. Plants absorb foliar sprays 20 times faster than soil applied nutrients. Foliars help plants compensate for soil deficiencies durning the growing season. Foliars fortify plants facing other type of stress as well, such as drought, wet, heat, cold or insect damage or the onset of disease-susceptible periods. Foliar feeding can also be timed to encourage and or enhance critical points in the plants growth cycle, such as rapid growth phases or flowering, fruiting and seed formation. Foliar feeding is fast, easy, and relatively inexpensive and can be very effective.

Hi Tim!
I fully and completely agree.
My plants, regardless of the weather look great because I foliar feed.
It's simple, easy and inexpensive because you have much greater control of the volume of product your feeding your plants.
Excellent advice Tim, thank you for posting it!
