Importance and Value of Organic Fertilizers - Natural is Best

The importance of organic gardening and farming has become increasingly popular. People have become more health conscious and do not want to expose their bodies or the environment to chemicals and pesticides. These toxins cause numerous health problems and pollute the land. The importance and value of organic fertilizers cannot be understated. Garden, lawn care and lawn maintenance are best served by using natural organic products and fertilizers.



What makes organic fertilizers different from chemical fertilizers is that the materials are a by-product of vegetables, animals or minerals. The decomposing matter from these sources, break down naturally and will provide nutrients and minerals to the soil. When considering lawn maintenance it is necessary to make sure that the lawn or garden gets the all of the nutrients that it needs for healthy growth. Although nutrients are available in regular soil, fertilizers can provide and ensure that plants have a balanced and sustainable access to the nutrients. Proper lawn care includes providing for the health of the lawn and garden.

One of the benefits of organic fertilizer is that the nutrients are released more slowly than in chemical fertilizers. This slower process allows the plants to process the fertilizer in a more natural way and will not result in over fertilizing which could damage the plants. Another benefit of organic fertilizer in your landscaping and lawn care is that it will actually help to improve the soil itself. It will help the soil to retain moisture. The organic substances can break up clay in the soil. The soil drainage and air circulation of the soil can also be improved. When the soil has the structure and nutrients that it needs, lawn care will be easier.

When considering what sort of organic fertilizer to use, there are a variety of choices. You can ask your lawn care provider if they use organic fertilizers. Having a compost pile is also a great way to get rid of food waste and still contribute to your lawn care and the environment. Other choices could be blood mean or bone meal. In Toronto, mowing is associated with a healthy lawn. Lawn maintenance, landscaping and lawn care are a priority and finding the best fertilizer is key. Natural organic fertilizer is the best choice for the healthy lawn and garden. It is an important valuable option that will help the soil and the environment be healthy and produce the best plants.

A Quick Guide to Lawn Fertilizers

If you want to let your lawn look healthy and green, it is essential that you fertilize your lawn. Lawn Fertilizer is one of the most important factors that affect the growth of your lawn. Proper fertilizing provides color and growth to your lawn grass and also helps it to grow thick. Let us take a look at the main constituents of fertilizers. Standard fertilizer contains nitrogen, phosphate and potash. Fertilizing involve the administration of all these constituents but in different amounts. Most lawns would need nitrogen in the maximum amount as it helps in fast growth, gives the grasses darker color and also thickens the grasses. However, you cannot neglect the administration of phosphate and potash. A deficient in phosphate and potash coupled with high dose of nitrogen will result in too much top growth. This can cause insufficient root growth and reduce nutrient storage capacity. A balanced fertilizing program would include all the three constituents in proper amount and micro...

Pros and Cons of Organic Fertilizer

Now, many growers, gardeners and farmers are beginning to understand the need for providing nutrients quickly in order to promote abundant plant growth in gardens and landscapes. Application of nutrients may be accomplished by using either organic or inorganic fertilizer. Due to increased environmental concerns, growers today tend to prefer the use of organic fertilizers over the inorganic type.

So just as you layer on sunscreen before heading out on a sunny day, you must consider summer lawn care so that your grass can stay green all summer long. When the sun grows fiery and passionate in June, July, and August, it beams down sunlight that is both beneficial and harmful to plants. As the days grow longer and hotter, watch out for your grass. We've got just the tips you need to keep your lawn bright, beautiful, and nourished. To begin, you should fertilize your grass. Using a plant food made especially for grass (which means it should be high in nitrogen, which promotes growth and greenness) and a spreader for proper distribution, fertilize your lawn. For best results, wait until the grass is dry and mowed. You want the fertilizer to sink into the ground (if it sticks to the wet blades, it might burn them). When you pour the fertilizer into the spreader, do i...
