Nutrients For The Garden Soil



An organic fertilizer contains chemical compounds given to a plant to promote growth and are usually applied to the soil for uptake by the roots or directly sprayed onto the leaves of plants.

‘Blood-and bone’ is a very safe and widely used organic fertilizer for natives or other plants in your garden.  Liquid organic fertilizer is also effectual and quite safe.  ‘Nitrosol’ is possibly the best of these, followed closely by fish emulsion.  ‘Aquasol’ is especially popular as a plant food.  It is excellent, but is synthetic.  It is crystalline in nature, and is applied, by mixing it in water.

 

Transplanted trees and shrubs often struggle along for several years before they start to show much growth. The most common culprits are under-watering and over-fertilizing. The solution to both problems can be solved by the use of Water Rings. These five-gallon reservoir prevents the dry-out that stunts growth, and you can add fertilizer a little at a time to promote strong root development. Prevents new-plant setback Holds 5 gallons of water and nutrients Prevents runoff and drought You'll never over-fertilize again! Cover with mulch if desired.  UV-stabilized plastic.

If you are really into natural methods, ‘Maxicrop’ is an organic fertilizer or growth stimulant made from seaweed.  Scientists are still questioning whether it works or not, and if so, why.  But some strawberry growers claim it not only makes the strawberries grow well, but makes them resistant to fungus.  Vegimax is another growth stimulant.  In our opinion 'Dynamic Lifter' is an excellent choice to give to your plants and also to sprinkle or add to your compost mound.  It's a 100 percent natural plant nutrient containing Blood and Bone, Fish  Emulsion and Seaweed.  The thing that everyone seems to forget about an organic fertilizer is that it’s a trace element mix.  We all know that a fertile soil grows better crops, and that minerals that make the soil fertile are the minerals that make food more nutritious.  The lack of essential minerals in the soil will have a damaging effect on crops.  It is for the most part the presence of healthy soil micro-organisms that make the minerals available to the plant.  The plants cannot do much with simple ground-up rocks; they need minerals to grow and be healthy.  They require an organic fertilizer and the best kind of organic fertilizer comes from the manure of grazing animals like cows and horses, as well as sheep.  The importance of humus should not be dismissed as it is without a doubt the world's best natural nutrient.

If your citrus fruits are a bit sour on the tree, or your plants are turning yellow, or perhaps the leaves are rather spotted?  Then you most likely need to apply trace elements: they also help the plant to fight off many diseases.  It is best to apply most organic fertiliser when it is raining to return the plant to a vigorous state of health.
