Did you know the biggest benefits of using organic fertilizer instead of chemical fertilizer in your yard and your garden this season? Although chemical fertilizers may do a decent job for the short term, organic fertilizers will provide you with a healthier lawn and garden for the long term. This is due to the fact that organic fertilizers work in a slow and methodical manner. In essence, organic fertilizer works when the soil breaks down the organic compounds found within the fertilizer. The bottom line is that both the soil and plants that are planted in the soil gain the nutrition that they need to not only survive but also to thrive.
On the other hand, chemical fertilizer works so fast that they typically overfeed anything planted in the soil. In addition, chemical fertilizers do not actually fertilizer the soil, only the plants planted in the soil. What it comes down to is the fact that chemical fertilizer tends to damage plants because it burns the plants. The organic materials within the organic fertilizer go a long way in improving the texture of the soil. That means your soil will hold in water for longer periods of time. It also means that both the bacterial and fungal activity in the soil will increase in order to help the plants and the soil itself.
Chemical fertilizer significantly reduces the amount of nutrients in the soil. In essence, it makes the soil unproductive. As an added bonus, organic fertilizer is safe for people, pets, and the environment. There are no elements in organic fertilizer that are poisonous or harmful. That being stated, you certainly don’t want to eat or drink organic fertilizer, however if it comes into contact with your skin or you breathe it in the good news is that it’s not dangerous or harmful. On the other hand, chemical fertilizers are typically manufactures with a large percentage of fossil based fuels.
As you know, fossil fuels can be dangerous when coming in contact with skin or being breathed in by humans and pets. They also do quite a bit of damage to the environment. The problem is chemical fertilizer can easily runoff from your soil and enter in water sources such as ponds, streams, rivers, and lakes. You also need to ask yourself if you would rather eat vegetables from the garden that are grown with chemical fertilizers as opposed to organic fertilizers. The organic fertilizer option certainly makes for healthier fruits and vegetables.
