Can I get 100% Organic Fertilizers? What about Agrounited?

Answer 1

There are many sources of organic fertilizers: compost you buy or make yourself, manure, raw minerals, compost teas, cottonseed meal, green cover crops, fish by-products, bone meal, etc. The essential nutrients that organic fertilizers provide have exactly the same chemical makeup as the nutrients in synthetic fertilizers (nitrate is nitrate, regardless of the source). However, there is usually less of an impact in producing organic fertilizers (less energy use, environmental damage and waste) and they allow you to recycle your garden waste (weeds, leaves, grass clippings) quickly for the benefit of your plants, rather than dumping it in landfills. Great things...

Organic fertilizers, because they have not been processed, tend to release their nutrients slower than synthetic fertilizers, but they are active over a longer period of time. Also, because these are natural products, the exact composition may vary, so you may need to experiment a bit.

Be careful with using uncomposted manure in your vegetable garden. Raw manures sometimes contain pathogens, and you don't want these to get on the items you are going to consume. If you contact your local agricultural extension office, or the local Master Gardeners, they can provide guidelines for the safe use of manure in vegetable gardens. Manures which have been fully composted are safe and great fertilizers, although they can be a bit heavy with soluble salts.

Dave's garden watch dog offers many reviews of garden plants and products including fertilizers or soil amendments.

However there is no mention of an Agrounited.
