There is no deep and esoteric science to organic fertilizer. One can find many different recipes here on the internet but you might not have the time to look around and find the one that is right for you.
I’ve done some looking around and I found a very simple and easy to make fertilizer that will give an all around good nutritional boost to your garden.
Here is a link to a site I found that has a simple recipe for you to follow.
Sometimes it’s so easy to just go to the store and buy what’s on the shelf without looking to see what’s in the ingredients of their fertilizer. You know how it can be. You just remember you need some fertilizer for the garden and you’re right there right now so it wont hurt to just get what they have. Then you no longer need to get fertilizer so you move on to the next thing.
Now you put this stuff on your plants and maybe you still aren’t thinking about what’s in it. Can you eat the produce that is grown with that fertilizer? I’ve seen some that you cannot eat when reading some labels. So your best bet is to take the time to at least read up on what your plants really need and just get them that.
Here is a basic list of what a plant needs
- Balanced PH for the particular plant
- Minerals
- Decomposed matter for the basic nutrient compounds
- Moisture
- Good soil
- Air and sunlight
Those are the basic things and then you can get more involved with each component. As long as you have these things in place you will be able to grow your own food with ease.
In making your own fertilizer you want to take naturally occurring ingredients and mix them in appropriate proportions to give the plant the extra boost it needs to be healthy. After all a healthy plant will fight off insects and disease far better than unhealthy plants.
