Liquid Organic Fertilizer
Using liquid organic fertilizer is a great way to provide your organic garden with a safe and effective way to provide them nutrients without harming them or increasing the acidity level in the soil. Liquid organic fertilizers act as agents to effectively increase the content levels of nitrogen, phosphate, and potassium. These are the three major nutrients that plants need. Liquid organic fertilizers thus provide plants with an abundant food supply essential for their growth. Liquid organic fertilizers are especially important in helping the plants overcome the tension involved in transplanting, cold weather, or dry season. Because liquid organic fertilizers help enrich the soil, they assist in removing the risk of soil nutrient-deficiency.
You can apply liquid organic fertilizer either by spraying or direct application to the soil. Spraying is the most common method because plants can absorb the nutrients quickly through absorption through the leaves and stems The other method used for applying liquid organic fertilizers are called direct or tea application. Liquid organic fertilizer direct application is like adding tea to the soil around the plant. Liquid organic fertilizer direct application still has the same nutritional component as the spray type. The only difference is that with the liquid organic fertilizer direct application method, nutrients such as nitrogen and potash may be wasted because they are not easily absorbed by the plants.
The most common liquid organic fertilizer is fish emulsion. Made from ground up and liquefied fish parts, fish emulsion liquid organic fertilizer contains trace elements essential for plant growth. Fish emulsion liquid organic fertilizer also has high content level of nitrogen, the nitrate source for plants. Fish emulsion liquid organic fertilizer may be sprayed on the plant’s foliage or applied directly as tea. Earthworm castings can also be made into liquid organic fertilizer. Earthworms are so important. They are a major reason why scientists have made an industry out of earthworm castings. Bat guano is another type of liquid fertilizer used in an organic garden. Other manufacturers have made liquid organic fertilizers out of: fish meal, soybean protein extract, rock phosphate, bone ash, potasium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, sea kelp, and humic acid.
