As gardeners we wonder how to feed our crops. Do we choose to grow organically or not, as there are various options in fertilizing and feeding your vegetable plants.

• Bone meal– is coarsely ground bones that is used for organic fertilizer. It works like a slow-release fertilizer and is very good for your garden. You can buy Bone meal from garden centres and other garden shops.
• Fish, Blood and Bone– is a great soil improver. Also used as a fertilizer but it will last over an 8 month growing season. Fish, Blood and Bone is a general organic fertilizer that feeds the soil – it’s a 6-6-6 in analysis which means it feed the soil in equal parts of Nitrogen (N), Phospherous (P) and Potassium (K) you see it on the bags as NPK.
• Potash –is also a natural fertilizer and is used to get stronger root growth which then increase your vegetable, fruit and flower production.
• 6X Pelleted Chicken Manure – this can be available in the supermarket or your local garden centre. It’s an organic fertilizer and is six times richer than farmyard manure. Chicken manure has a typical NPK ratio of 4.3 – 3.2 – 3.2 but it also feeds the soil with magnesium and other trace elements. It can be used in your vegetable garden also on flower beds and shrubs. It’s a very cost effective way to fertilize your garden.
• Calcified Seaweed – is very good for your soil. Calcium seaweed has all the natural trace elements to make sure your soil is a healthy organism. Calcified seaweed improves your soil structure and also gives the soil the correct ph, which is important to grow healthy vegetables.
• Growmore– Is a general fertilizer and has a NPK ratio of 7 – 7 – 7 which means it has an equal amount of Nitrogen (N)  Phospherous (P) and Potassium (K) this is a good general fertilizer but it doesn’t feed the soil like some of the other fertilizers.
