Organic Fertilizers (kopie)

Using organic fertilizers as plant nutrition

Any discussion of fertilizers should begin with at least a brief overview of plant nutrition.
It is commonly accepted that there are 18 elements required by plants for healthy growth. Of these, three: “Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen” are supplied by air and water. The other 15 are normally absorbed from the soil by plant roots. This group of 15 is further divided into 4 subgroups:

Primary nutrients, secondary nutrients, trace elements and Organic.

All of these elements are essential, regardless of the amounts required. They include:
Primary nutrients : Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium.
Secondary nutrients : Calcium, Magnesium and Sulphate.
Trace elements : Zinc, Iron, Manganese, Copper, Boron, Molybdenum, Cobalt, Sodium and Chlorine.

All these nutrients work together in a delicate balance to promote plant growth. For example, an excess of one nutrient can reduce a plant’s ability to absorb another. The role of any fertilizer is to improve the fertility of the soil. The soil supports plant life and is the vehicle that supplies the necessary nutrients to the plant. The more fertile a soil is (i.e. rich in organic matter) the more likely it is to yield a healthy and abundant garden. Organic gardening starts with adding organic products to the soil.

Organic fertilizers feed the soil, not the plant. The soil will feed the plant. Organic fertilizers help maintain overall soil fertility by contributing vital organic matter and enhancing the soil structure in addition to supplying plant nutrients.
They are most often derived from the by-products of once living organisms. The product that supplies most of the nutrients in organic fertilizers is, among others, animal manure containing about 65% organic matter.
Our Organic Fertilizer, based on animal manure, is certified by the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Food Quality / Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) and each or their ingredients are periodically tested to ensure that they meet the highest standards.
