Organic gardening is a popular alternative method of vegetable gardening. Animal manure and composted plant materials are the most common forms of organic garden fertilizer. Cover crops and mixed organic materials are another form of natural organic fertilizer. In addition to the macro nutrients, nitrogen (N), phosphorous (P), and potassium (K), natural organic fertilizer adds other micro-nutrients.

Benefits of Organic Garden Fertilizer

Nutrients are released slowly from organic fertilizer, which benefits the growing crop over a longer period of time. Additions also improve soil texture as well as the ability to hold water and nutrients. Organic matter releases acids when decomposing which aid in converting some natural mineral additives into plant usable forms.
