Hellooo. First it is important to recall that organic
fertilizers are called like that because they are derived from plants or
animals and even from mineral rocks. Here I will let you a list of the most common
organic fertilizer!
Compost
The compost if one of the most popular
organic fertilizers that one can make. We can made compost mixing decomposed
plants such as vegetable peels, egg shells, coffee grounds and other organic
scraps. The best thing about it is the fact that is free, easy to make and it
will help you to have a better soil with all the nutrients that it needs.
Manure
Manure that is used as fertilizer usually
comes from livestock animals such as cattle, chickens, horses and sheep. This
is an excellent idea too and it helps to improve soil quality.
Marine by products.
This type of fertilizer is a great one
because it provides soil with different healthy nutrients. There are different
examples of this as fish emulsion that provides soil great levels of nitrogen. Also
there is the fish scrap which contains both nitrogen and phosphorus. Finally
there is the seaweed extracts that provide nitrogen and potassium and it have a
less intense odor than the fish derivatives.
Minerals
Although rock minerals are not derived from
a lived organism they are considered organic fertilizers because they are not
processed and helps the soil that it needs. Examples of this are the rock
phosphate, greensand and sulfate of potash magnesia.
Mulch
This is a very common an easy way to
fertilize your plants. It is created from grass clippings, shredded leaves and
old hay. It helps in a significant way the soil fertility and the soil's
ability to absorb nitrogen and other nutrients.
It is wonderful to know that each fertilizer has its own attribute. I did not know that one it was made of mineral rocks, cool! That is really new to me. I wish we were more conscious about making compost, because it is free and easy to make.
