Home gardening has become a common pleasurable diversion for most people. There are many ways to making a wonderland out of your backyard and all you need for this is some good seeds, a spade, and the ever dependable fertilizer.
Talking about fertilizers, many people seem to prefer the organic kind as opposed to the chemical laden artificial ones that can be quite harmful to the environment. Organic fertilizers have two types. One is the synthetic kind, which means that it is organic compound artificially produced. The perfect example for this is Urea, a common organic fertilizer used by most to promote blooming. The other type is known as natural organic fertilizers for obvious reasons. A hundred percent of the ingredients used to create a typical natural organic fertilizer come from nature, like fish extract, seaweed, and manure, guano, and compost materials. Natural organic fertilizers are traditionally applied like tea to the soil. But with new developments in how natural organic fertilizers are made, they can now also be applied through different means. Natural organic fertilizers can be applied through spray canisters or by pouring (for liquid natural organic fertilizers.) Perhaps the commonest type of natural organic fertilizer is the fish emulsion. This natural organic fertilizer is made entirely from finely grounded fish parts rich in trace elements that are very beneficial to plants. Trace elements found in this natural organic fertilizer are all or more of the following: boron, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium. Some companies have added other ingredients into their own brand of fish emulsions to enhance the plant growing benefits of this type of natural organic fertilizer. The added enhancers in this natural organic fertilizer include vitamins, amino acids, enzymes, growth hormones, nitrogen, as well as all the other micro and macro nutrients found naturally in fish but which may be lost during its synthesis. Several excellent points about Natural Organic Fertilizer are illuminated in this article. Natural organic fertilizers may also come from crab shells. This type of natural organic fertilizer, unlike fish and seaweed extract, is applied dry. Crab shell is an extremely valuable natural organic fertilizer since it also acts as an effective pest control. Crab shell contains Chitin, the food source of chitin eating bacteria that kills fungus and nematodes.
