Fertilizer

  
Organic fertilizer refers to fertilizers that are created organically in nature, such as manure or peat. Organic fertilizer can also be man made from compost. Organic fertilizers are carbon based compounds that increase the productivity of plants and have many benefits that chemical fertilizers do not provide. Organic fertilizer will help improve your soil by adding important nutrients for your plants which is a key to organic garden success. Without fertile soil and nutrients your plants cannot thrive.

The main benefit of synthetic chemical fertilizers is that they offer a higher density of nutrients than organic do, however this can sometimes cause plants to dehydrate due to excessive fertilizer salt. Another draw back from chemical fertilizer is that they can pollute your soil and water, as well as contaminate your food. On the other hand organic fertilizer is made from natural materials and is safe for both you and the environment.
