TYPES OF FERTILIZER
It’s important to determine what your plants need in order to choose
the right fertilizer. Pre-packaged fertilizers are formulated to meet
different nutritional needs, with some specifically formulated for
roses, trees and shrubs, vegetables, lawns, or bulbs to remove the
guesswork.
Organic vs. inorganic:
Fertilizers are available as organic (plant or animal derived) or inorganic
(man-made from chemicals). Organic types are better for the environment and
help to improve overall soil health. Inorganic fertilizers do nothing to
improve soil and have no positive residual effect. In some cases, they can
be harmful to the environment and wildlife, so it’s important to weigh the
pros and cons before using.
Granular vs. water-soluble:
There are two basic forms of fertilizers, each with advantages and drawbacks.
Slow release granular fertilizers have the advantage of delivering nutrients
over a longer period of time. Water-soluble fertilizers are faster acting,
delivering a boost of nutrients when plants need a quick pick-me-up. These
are generally less harsh and not as long-lasting, so need to be applied more
frequently.
Other popular fertilizer options include fertilizer spikes, liquid fertilizers,
and compost teas.

CHEAPLY
Fertilizing your garden is a great way to improve the soil and ensure
your plants grow well. Commercial fertilizer can be expensive and full
of harmful chemicals that are toxic for the soil. You can fertilize
your garden cheaply, and naturally, by using food products and plants.
You can also use animal products as natural, cheap fertilizer.
