Organic Fertilizer Overview

When it comes to having a green thumb, fertilizers can make or break your plant’s ability to grow. When it comes to trees, this especially holds true. Synthetic fertilizers can cause a lot of problems, like leeching and toxic buildup. We’ve put together an overview of organic fertilizers and why they prove more beneficial:

Organic fertilizers generally get made up of 3 things: animal matter, human excreta, or vegetable matter. Synthetic fertilizers get produced from minerals such as phosphate rock or industrially produced chemicals like ammonia.

Peat, the beginning stage of coal, also gets used with organic, not as nutrition, but as an aerator and water absorbent. Plant matter comes in the form of composts, and many byproducts of the meat processing industry get used as animal matter. These offer essential nutrients for plants not available in other types of fertilizers.
