More Reasons For Organic Fertilizer

Fertilizer that is not organic, by default is a synthetic chemical.
Engineered in a lab to make a plant grow faster or have a longer "shelf life".
Nutrition, health or the environment has nothing to do with it. It's all about getting the food from the farm to the stores and getting paid for it before it goes bad. You however, know better, so you don't want this stuff in your organic garden. I have had great success using Aggrand certified organic fertilizer around my property it is a great product that meets rigid standards. I have spoken with the horticulturalist that oversees every single batch made, you can be assured that it is the real Mc Coy!

Aggrand stimulates the soil's microbial activity, helping to process nutrients which makes it more useable by the plant. Aggrand is chelated so the plant uses only what is needed while the remaining is held in the soil. Contrast that to the 7-8% of synthetic chemicals that are actually used by the plant while the rest becomes run off that contaminates our waterways.

I get asked often about the cost, I guess it is because of that sticker shock you can experience when shopping for organic produce. In reality Aggrand is less expensive to use per season than most chemicals while providing superior yields, more nutrient rich produce, fruits and field crops. I have one hay farmer who reports that he has cut his annual fertilizer costs by 2/3! That's great news, but, does it really work?


It's not a miracle or a marketing scam. It's just accepting Nature on Nature's terms, about working in harmony with our environment. And organic fertilizer works on ANYTHING you grow.



And take note of what you're using to kill pests in your garden! If you use a chemical pesticide in your organic garden it's not an organic garden anymore! The plants are going to aborb all the toxicity you use to kill bugs and you're going to eat it!

Consumption of these pesticides can also cause skin ailments as well as neurological disorders. In addition to harming our bodies, the use of pesticides is also one of the major causes of water pollution. Pesticides that fail to get into plants, end up in soil and ultimately reach the groundwater. Alachlor (Lasso), Ethylcnc Dibromide, Metolachlor (Dual), DCPA (Dacthal) and Butylate (Sutan) are among the toxic pesticides commonly found in water.
