Incorporating organic fertilisers to your garden soil makes certain that the soil get the key nutrients that it needs. Almost all gardeners growing organic vegetables will tell you that if you do this 2-3 times yearly it will significantly improve the soil in your vegetable garden.
Remember that doing this the organic way makes sure that there are no man made chemical compounds being put back into your soil.
Sorts of fertiliser:
These can be broken down into a couple of basic types.
Organic animal based and organic plant focused fertiliser.
Organic Animal Fertiliser:
Organic animal fertiliser is more usually known as manure.
Normally you will find that it comes from cows, horses and chickens. Additionally you can include bats and rabbits in our list of animals.
This manure should really have enough time to decompose and age before mixing it in thoroughly with your soil. If you are doing this yourself it is important that the manure has fully decomposed to ensure the extraction of bad bacteria.
Once your fertiliser is fully decomposed you can now blend this in with your soil. It will depend on what form your fertiliser is in as to precisely how you could do this.
But in basic terms, if it is in either liquid or solid form you would be wise to ensure that it is mixed in well with your soil. It is also a good idea to schedule your planting for at least 3-4 weeks after you apply your fertiliser. Not only will this enable the fertiliser to work it's magic within the soil but it will get rid of any bad aromas from the manure that will otherwise make your planting an unappealing task.
Organic Plant Fertiliser:
Referred to in most gardening circles as "Green Manure" Plant based fertiliser comes from multiple sources.
Most common originate from seaweed and kelp. This kind of fertiliser is excellent for growing organic vegetables as seaweed has been found to hold nutrients such as manganese, copper and zinc. All of which are intimately associated with superior growth of your produce and supply the soil with the much needed nutrients an organic gardener looks for.
Lots of organic gardeners now use worm casings to fertilise their soil. You can buy this in your nearby gardening outlet, but lots of people now manufacture their own.
To do this you need to ensure you have the right worms that you can get once again from the garden shop. A covered container and damp vegetable matter or old newspaper. This is a great and reliable way to get free fertiliser for your garden all the year round and costs almost nothing.
There is an additional "Green Manure" fertiliser you can use if you can find the correct plants. Typically this is a crop such as soya which is grown and then harvested and blended with the soil so that the plant basically decomposes in the soil. This works very well as the decomposing plant matter releases nutrients as it breaks down into your soil.
Making sure that you keep the soil of your organic garden well fertilised no less than twice a year will ensure that your crop is gaining it's strongest growing potential. It is relatively cheap to do and the modest costs involved will make sure your eating a good crop of organic vegetables though-out the year.
