Lavender’s Secret: Sand & Gravel Magic

Did you know your lavender could bloom way better with just a sprinkle of sand or gravel? Turns out, too much fertilizer makes them leafy, not flowery! Pro gardeners swear by adding builder’s sand or pea gravel to the soil—less nutrients, more blooms, and way better drainage. Just don’t use fine sand (it clogs things up). Spread a thin layer around the base, keep it off the stems, and watch your lavender thrive.
