Organic Vegetable GardenAn organic vegetable garden needs good fertilizer to grow. While some people depend on
organic compost,
it may not be enough to do the job.
It may not contain enough nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus which are the three main ingredients needed for organic garden fertilization.
Here are some options for you to consider adding to your compost: Alfalfa meal has all of the nutrients needed for your organic garden. Its components contribute to plant growth. Blood meal is a fertilizer with a source of nitrogen. It has a ratio of 12-2-1. Bone meal is also being recommended by garden experts. Since it is a great source of phosphorus and calcium, it's a good one to add to your list. Kelp meal is recommended because it is high in potassium. Using it in combination with bone meal is ideal, since kelp meal does not contain enough phosphorus. Comfrey is high in potassium and nitrogen which is especially useful if you plan to grow organic tomatoes and fruit.
In addition, you can also compost certain nutrients which can further enhance the fertilization of your garden. The first nutrient is called nettles, which is a food which insects ingest and which can also be composted into an organic liquid. The second alternative is to use compost worms with any waste products from your kitchen. This will also provide nutrition for the soil. The third is the process of composting tea. If you find that your soil is not at its best, this process will add the nutrients that are lacking in your organic garden.
Since the compost pile is a rich source of carbon, nitrogen, and water, there is no doubt you will be sufficiently prepared to plan what to plant in your organic vegetable garden.
