Why use organic fertilizer?


Because it works!

Let me list some of the ways. It is safe for your kids and pets. It reclaims our environment and builds soil fertility. It provides food for micro-organisms that supply energy for healthy plant growth. Organic fertilizer is stable in the soil, it doesn't have to be watered in because it won't burn your plants. It improves the soil structure and works together with organic matter to enhance micro-organism populations while releasing nutrients when the plants need them. In the long run it's also less expensive.




What does organic fertilizer do? It supplies nearly every nutrient your plants need to flourish.

What does organic fertilizer contain? The three macro nutrients Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium (N,P,K)as well as Magnesium and Sulfur. The better fertilizers will also contain Boron, Chlorine, Copper, Iron, Manganese, Molybdenum, and Zinc. Note that Calcium (lime) is also classified as a fertilizer but is typically purchased separately.

In what form is organic fertilizer sold? It is available most often in a liquid solution that is mixed with water for application. You'll also find granulated types of fertilizer such as corn gluten meal and micronized lime that are applied by hand or with a spreader.

What is foliar feeding? It is a method of mixing water with liquid fertilizer and spraying it directly onto the foliage (leaves) of the plants. The rate of absorption is vastly superior to uptake from the root system only.

"When your income is derived from growing, one bad season could shut you down. So you don't take unnecessary chances, you go with what works."





The problem that most have is where to get it? There are only a select few nursery and garden centers that carry genuine organic fertilizer. Now that has all changed with the internet. Now we can get the same stuff that professional growers use delivered right to our front door. We don't even have to drive to the nursery!

“the proof is in the performance”

I found a certified organic fertilizer product, made by a company named Aggrand a couple of years ago and I love the stuff! You can even buy it for what the big growers do if you qualify as a preferred customer. This is not available in most nursery or garden centers and is sold by dealers only.
