Organic fertilizers are made from mined rock minerals, and succulent plant food and animal materials. They include ingredients like manure, guano, dried and powdered blood, ground bone, crushed shells, finely pulverized fish, phosphate rock, and wood. While inorganic, or synthetic, fertilizers may contain some organic ingredients, the main difference is that they act quickly to simply feed the plant without actually enriching the soil, and may contribute to a toxic buildup of salts in the soil when over applied.
Organic fertilizer Texas can be powders, liquids, or solids, with each applied differently. Some organic fertilizers are manure or guano-based, using droppings from livestock, worms, bats, and seabirds. Bagged organic compost has a mixture of organic ingredients including manure, food scraps, and leaf mold. Look for other organic fertilizers including blood meal, bone meal, shellfish fertilizer, or fish emulsion.
It depends upon the type we are using, so be sure to thoroughly read the package label and instructions. Some fertilizers also act as soil conditioners, and are applied to the soil before planting, while others are worked into the soil around the plants year-round. Still others are sprayed on the leaves of the plant as a foliar fertilizer. Each has its specific use and benefit.
As in nature, an organic soil alive with microbes and fungi releases nutrients slowly to plants. By enriching the soil with organic supplements and encouraging the growth of naturally occurring beneficial organisms, we give our plants the tools they need to access nutrients in the soil and the strength to protect themselves from harmful pathogens and pests. This helps make soil borne nutrients, such as iron, more available to plants.For more details on this, please browse www.growwithnoot.com.
