Organic fertilizer for your home garden

 Organic Garden Techniques



Organic growth techniques are in practice until humans plow the earth. Only after World War II did agriculture become dependent on toxic synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. These man-made chemicals temporarily increased the yield of many crops but increased the cost of long-term production, causing air and water pollution, altering soil structure, and disrupting the overall ecosystem.


Organic fertilizers, whether they are foods, fertilizers, or composted plant products, contain N-P-K (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium), trace minerals, enzymes, vitamins, and plenty of organic matter. Of those materials, 100% are beneficial to soil and plants. In contrast, synthetic fertilizers do not contain organic matter. Soil microbes need to have this carbon energy source, and if it is not supplied, the microbes will take it out of the soil. It filters the health of the soil with each fertilizer application.


Unlike synthetic fertilizers, organic fertilizers do not produce high levels of salts such as nitrates, which disturb or kill beneficial soil organisms. Organic fertilizers release nutrients slowly and naturally. (In my chart, the best natural organic fertilizers, see a solution.) All components are usable by plants because organic fertilizers do not contain as effective fillers as synthetic fertilizers.

Alfalfa provides many nutritional benefits to food plant use and soil organisms. A very important ingredient is triacontanol, a powerful plant-growth regulator. Alfalfa is high in vitamins and contains N-P-K, calcium, magnesium, and other valuable minerals; Sugar and starch; Proteins;  And 16 amino acids. Use 10 to 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet. See the recipe for making alfalfa tea with an alfalfa meal at the end of this article.


Bat guano is a natural all-use organic fertilizer rich in nitrogen and trace elements. It has natural fungicidal properties and is less susceptible to contamination by pesticides or chemicals. It is best to apply once or twice during the growing season. Be careful not to overuse it as it contains 10% nitrogen.


A blood meal is an organic source of nitrogen and phosphorus. Expensive, but the cotton seed is good to mix with food.


Bone meal is the recommended source of calcium and phosphorus for bulbs, tomatoes, and other vegetables. Rock phosphate is better and cheaper.


Chelators are organic compounds with attached mineral metal molecules that are highly available for plant use. Salted iron and other salted nutrients are used when a direct dose of a particular nutrient is needed to quickly address a deficiency. Fertilizers, humus, humic acid, and microorganisms have natural sealing properties.


Coffee Ground. Apply old coffee or ground directly on the soil in beds or potted plants. Both are acidic and rich in nutrients including N-P-K.

Compost is the best organic fertilizer and is important for any organic gardening project. It is high in nutrients, humus, humic acid, and microorganisms. The analysis will vary based on the components. Excellent compost is made from a variety of local organic materials such as straw, sawdust, compost, leaves, twigs, bark, wood chips, dead plants, food debris, beacon hulls, and grass clippings.



Corn gluten is a natural weed and fodder fertilizer. Broadcast in the spring to prevent crop grass and other annual weeds. For winter or winter weeds, replant at 15 to 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet to control henbits, dandelions, annual bluegrass, and more. Make sure the product you are buying contains 60 percent protein.

Earthworm molds are high in bacteria, calcium, iron, magnesium, sulfur, and N-P-K, and contain more than 60 minerals. They are an excellent ingredient in potting soil, in flats when seeds germinate, and in planting pits. They are soft, sweet-smelling, and clean.



Fish hydrolysate (liquid fish). Apply this concentrated liquid fish manure directly to the soil or fodder. It is said to be an effective pesticide and is a good all-purpose spray when mixed with liquid kelp. The stench lasts for about 24 hours. (Fish broth is no longer recommended due to the processing method.)


Fish meal is good for all plants, but it is generally expensive and stinks.

Great Designs for Container Groupings

Once your single containers are ready to merge It's hard to fail with a group of containers. Any size group, from a simple couple to large multiples, can enhance any outdoor space. Open patios and decks become softer and more intimate when you place pots around them. A straight and simple outdoor path lined with containers can become a wave of sorts—a formal one with some plants or an informal path with others. You never know what you'll come up with by placing one pot next to another or a particular plant with others. Once you start experimenting, you'll notice many places where a container is grouped. 1. Combine bright colors This collection of colorful pots introduces the viewer to the vivid color scheme in the beds behind it, mainly blue flowers. However, to maintain exclusivity, pots get exclusive rights to colors like magenta, pink and chartreuse. 2. Formal lateralization A combination of papyrus and vases always looks elegant, but when placed side by sid...

Strategies for improving a small garden space

Prioritize functionality when every inch is precious When I started designing gardens 20 years ago, I was surprised to find that small spaces were more challenging to plan than large ones. In those early years, a small number of clients would come to me with detailed lists of items they must have, and I would struggle to fit everything in. Identifying specific features and details was a major breakthrough. A garden should be the final step in the process, not the first. Since then, every consultation I have with a new client begins with three questions I've nicknamed the "three W's." These prompts help my clients imagine interacting with their redesigned spaces, and while they're useful in remodeling gardens of all sizes, they're especially helpful when space is at a premium. When my husband and I recently moved into a new house with a small backyard, we had the opportunity to use the process for ourselves. Here's what we found. Three question...
