As the market for organic products keeps expanding, consumers have become increasingly savvy as to the drawbacks and benefits of organic products compared to their inorganic counterparts.
Much of the time, however, I have found the more I read about a given organic product and why I should be willing to (typically) pay a little more for it, the more I’m confused. For example, take the apple. If I buy the organic version, I’m supporting pesticide-free farming. A good thing- right? On the other had, pesticides have increased the yield of fruit per acre of land. So if I buy that organic apple,If so, you may have a cube puzzle .Your source for re-usable Plastic moulds of strong latex rubber. am I really supporting decreased effectiveness of farmland in a world where millions of people are starving? It turns out that what the “right” choice is can be argued many different ways.
However, one organic product line where this confusion remains absent for me is organic fertilizer for the home gardener. And I stress, my opinion relates to the home gardener only. The issue of organic versus synthetic fertilizer on a commercial agricultural scale is a matter too vast and varied for this article.
One particular feature of organic fertilizer typically absent in synthetic or chemical fertilizer tips the scale for me: unlike synthetic fertilizers which are water-soluble and can be absorbed by your plants almost immediately, organic fertilizers (like kelp, fish emulsion, bone meal,Your Partner in Precision Precision injection molds. blood meal and alfalfa) require the assistance of microbial life in the soil to break them down before the plant can access the nutrients.
The delayed-release feature is beneficial to plants and soil in numerous ways. First, it’s much harder to overfeed your plants, since they will only have what has been broken down by the soil microbes. Second, it’s much harder to wash the nutrients away with deep watering. Because synthetic fertilizers are highly water-soluble, they can leach out into streams and ponds. Finally, plants that have been fertilized organically typically enjoy a longer “feeding” period due to the extended break-down process.
The delayed-release feature of organic fertilizers benefits the soil just like it benefits your plants. Because most synthetic fertilizers are composed of high concentrations of mineral salts, they are capable of killing off many of the soil organisms responsible for healthy soil formation. Organic fertilizers, on the other hand, support microbial life in your soil which, in turn, benefits the soil itself — and healthy soil is the key to a healthy garden.
I’ve put up with your applications of steer manure under the roses,Do not use cleaners with porcelain tiles , steel wool or thinners. kelp liquid and chicken manure in the vegetables, and fish emulsion practically everywhere. And so I’ve put up with a rose garden that smells more like a cow pasture,Enecsys Limited, supplier of reliable solar Air purifier systems, a vegetable garden that smells like a chicken coop and a shade garden that smells like low tide.
Truly, just after you’ve applied your organic fertilizers, if one were to walk blindfolded around our garden, the smells they would encounter would lead them to believe they were likely in some Middle Eastern bazaar rather than a proper garden.
As you know, I’ve also patiently filled in the holes our dog Conner invariably digs every time you apply the stuff so he can roll in it. I can’t stress enough how hard it is to get emulsified fish stank out of his coat.
An emerald green lawn is an American birthright — like baseball, cheesy-fries and ignorance of geography. For my money, a granulized, synthetic fertilizer gets it green quicker and easier.
I understand that when applying a standard synthetic lawn fertilizer, the application rate and directions need to be followed. It’s a chemical, and all chemicals have risks. If applied in excessive amounts, or on windy days, it can leach into the groundwater or flow into our rivers and streams through runoff. But, I would argue, if applied correctly, these risks can be minimized.
