Southern Living Plant Collection

This month marks 40 years in horticulture for me, and I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about how much my approach to gardening has changed over time. Early in my career, I was focused on solving problems with products—fertilizers, pesticides, and quick fixes. But over the years, I began to realize that most garden problems start in the soil. In this video, I’m sharing the biggest shift I’ve made in four decades: moving from treating symptoms to building healthy soil first. If you’ve ever struggled with recurring plant problems, this perspective might completely change how you approach your garden. 🌱 LEARN & PLAN YOUR GARDEN: Weekly Garden Planner – $10 OFF (Code: WEEKLY10) https://www.horttube.com/weekly-garden-plan Learn to Garden Video Series – $10 OFF (Code: LEARN10) https://www.horttube.com/the-basics-of-gardening 🧠 WORK WITH ME: Garden Consultations https://www.horttube.com/consultation 🛒 PRODUCTS I ACTUALLY USE: Amazon Shop (purchases support the channel) https://www.amazon.com/shop/horttubewithjimputnam Soil3 Compost https://soil3.com/discount/HortTube26 🌸 PLANT BRANDS FEATURED ON THE CHANNEL: Southern Living Plants https://bit.ly/3R4iYDA Encore Azaleas https://bit.ly/3dNzlWN Plants by Mail https://bit.ly/3TglJ6P 🎥 MORE HORTTUBE: Join the channel (members-only perks) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXXKLYf_tz_1cssixclHgnw/join 🌐 STAY CONNECTED: Website: https://www.horttube.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HortTube/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/horttube/?hl=en
