More and more people are switching out their fertilizers for a more natural and organic alternative. Not only is it the more environmentally friendly choice, but there are also so many benefits that organic fertilizers have to offer to your plants.
What are Organic Fertilzers?
Organic Fertilizers are naturally produced and are a mineral source that contains plant essential nutrients with zero chemicals. They gradually release the nutrients into the soil and promote healthy plant and crop growth. Using an Organic fertilizer is much safer than chemical fertilizers, and benefits not only your plants but the soil too.

Chemical vs. Organic Fertilizers
An organic fertilizer is made from living organism materials, whereas chemical fertilizers are made from synthetic materials.
Although chemical fertilizers are often the cheaper option between the two, an organic fertilizer ends up being the more cost effective option. This is because it requires you to fertilize less, and often use less product when doing so. Organic fertilizer is also the safer option as it contains none of the harmful chemicals usually found in chemical fertilizers, making it safe for you and those around you.
