What happens if you fertilize your plants too much?

 

Excessive amounts of manure, compost, or any fertilizer can have a few different effects on the plant.

1. High salt build-up around the roots, which affects the soil micro-organisms

2. Sudden growth of the plant with a poor root system that cannot hold up the plant.

3. Water retention around the root zones, which can cause root rot and fungus infestation

4. Yellowing of leaves
