Organic soil care is a form of growing plants without using traditional manufactured nutrients to fertilize the soil. Organic soil care for plants uses natural means such as manure, compost or even kitchen scraps from vegetables and fruit to condition the soil. The use of organic fertilizer has been used for thousands of years with great success by ancient civilizations who could not have imagined chemical based fertilizers which are so popular today. Here are top 10 reason you should use organic soil care:
1. Organic Fertilizer won't burn your plants
Many people choose to use organic fertilizer over other types because it will not damage your plant's root system like many chemical fertilizers can do. Organic nutrient sources may naturally contain salts that could accumulate in the soil and helps your plants and tree to grow healthy.
2. Organic fertilizer naturally contains Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphorus
Nitrogen is an essential ingredient to promote green leaves and strong healthy growth. Organic fertilizers contain nitrogen but in a slow release form so the decaying organic material continues to give nutrients over time to keep your plants growing strong.
3. Organic Fertilizer helps rebuild depleted soils
Chemical fertilizers can destroy microorganisms in the soil that are responsible for protecting your root system from disease and other problems while also helping maintain water retention ability of your garden soil.
4. Organic Fertilizer is better for the environment
When organic fertilizer breaks down it naturally replenishes the soil with essential vitamins, minerals and nutrients.
5. Organic Fertilizer has greater nutrient retention
Chemical fertilizers tend to wash out of your garden soil quite easily after rains or watering often leaving large amounts of nutrients lost in the soil to be wasted. Organic fertilizers do not contain harsh chemicals that would cause rapid decomposition so they will retain their nutrients longer than chemical types.
6. Organic Soil Care promotes beneficial microbial activity
Micro-organisms such as bacteria and fungi are essential to help break down organic matter in your soil for release of nutrients for plant uptake.
7. Organic Fertilizer is safer around children and pets
Organic fertilizers do not contain harmful chemicals that could harm children or pets, even if they were to eat some of the fertilizer it would just pass through their system without causing any damage.
8. Organic Fertilizer attracts beneficial insects
You will find certain bugs attracted to your garden that are helpful predator insects that feed on other pests which might be damaging your garden.
9. Organic Fertilizer are less Expensive
Organic Fertilizer is less expensive in the long run Organic fertilizer may cost a little more at first when purchasing, but it is safe to handle and store so you only need to buy smaller quantities than with chemical fertilizers.
10. Organic Fertilizer are Sustainable and Environment Friendly.
Organic fertilizers do not run off as easily (if at all) and are associated with soil structure. According to the Organic Trade Association, organic fertilizer also increases species biodiversity by 30% compared with synthetic fertilizer.
