Fertilizing Your Plants



Grow Organic Food


Hello Gardeners,
This is the Grow Organic Vegetable Gardener . I want to talk about Organic fertilizers in your daily gardening. In my previous posts I have talked about NPK ("nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium," These are the basic nutrients needed by your plants to grow and thrive.

Nitrogen gives and supports the green leaves of your plants, Phosphorus is for growth and blooming and fruit set. Potassium is for overall health of your plant along with other essential minerals.  I personally use a balanced all around powder Fertilizer made by Down to Earth with NPK numbers of 4-6-2 which means 4% nitrogen, 6 % phosphorus and 2% potassium.

Organic fertilizers are adding vital nutrients back into the soil of your plants that are used up on consistent basis. During the growing season it is best to fertilize every two to three weeks for maximum growth and flowering.
