What To Watch For In Organic Fertilizers
by John Yazo
When looking to purchase organic fertilizers there are things that you should know about and also look for. Don't get sold on a product just because the package is labeled organic, all natural or compost. There could be some overlooked ingredients in the product that you don't know about and wish you did. Read the fine print on the label.You just may be surprised in what you find.
There should be an area on the package that states what the ingredients of the product is and also tell you what the nutrient values are. It should state the percentage of nitrogen, phosphates and calcium the same way they are labeled on any package of fertilizer. Another thing that is often overlooked is a percentage of biosolids.
Biosolids is a word that is used for solid matter that has been processed through a sewage waste facility. Sewage treatment facilities process all waste materials that flow through the public sewer mains. This includes waste from the household along with waste from industrial facilities, hospitals and schools. There are allot of unknowns that are flushed or dumped into public waste water.
These are things that you should take into consideration and fully research a product before you purchase it. There just may be some things that you would like to know about the product before you put it to your own personal use.
Biosolids are mixed into some commercially processed compost mixes and organic fertilizers. It is at some times not so clearly labeled as a sludge product. Take your time and fully read and understand the product description before you purchase it.Make sure that the product meets all your needs and requirements.
The safest way to stay organic is to produce your own organic fertilizers by the method of composting. Composting is very easy to do and you will know where the product came from along what the ingredients are. Composting is the best way to recycle your organic household waste.
