I buried a handful of crushed expired stool softener tablets in the soil around my August late-season turnip transplants. 3 weeks later, this is what happened

If you’re tempted by unusual garden hacks, I’d gently steer you back to the boring good stuff, because that’s what feeds families best. Compost, even watering, decent spacing, and healthy soil have never let me down. That handful of crushed tablets taught me something useful, but not because it worked. It taught me that in the vegetable garden, simple and proven usually wins.
