Before we talk about the subject of organic fertilizers, lets first briefly mention what "organic" means. Simply stated, it's organic produce and other ingredients that are grown without the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, sewage sludge, genetically modified organisms, or ionizing radiation. Now lets talk about organic fertilizers.
Organic fertilizers are naturally-occurring fertilizers (e.g. compost, manure), or naturally-occurring mineral deposits (e.g. saltpeter). The naturally-occurring organic fertilizer includes manure, slurry, worm castings, peat, seaweed, humic acid, and guano. You may be saying that organic fertilizers don't produce the instant results that you're used to. If you use organic fertilizers you will help improve the soil of your lawn and garden. Healthy soil is the long term key to lawn and garden success. Without fertile soil, plants cannot thrive. The truth is to make organic gardening work you will need to do the other gardening things too. Gardening is not easy but organic gardening is often easier than regular gardening. Why? Instead of spending time mixing synthetic fertilizers, constantly spraying weeds and wondering why your vegetable yields are dropping year by year, you really only have to pay attention to one thing – the soil. Keep your soil healthy and replenished with rich, natural minerals and organic matter and everything else will grow healthy and strong. The benefits of organic gardening far outweigh the little extra work that is required for organic gardening.
