Acceptable Organic Fertilizer Products for Organic Gardens
Below is a list of Acceptable Organic Fertilizer Products for Organic Gardens and unacceptable fertilizer products for your garden. Organic fertilizers provide similar and better-growing results as the non-organic fertilizers.
Round-up by Scott’s is recognized as a fertilizer, but we commonly view it as a weed exterminator. When examining the list of unacceptable fertilizers, notice how many advertisements on television, websites, and magazines how great their products work.
If you want truly organic foods, you must use approved organic fertilizer products. It is kind-of-scary to realize how we have been influenced and told that non-acceptable organic fertilizers are the best of the best fertilizing products.
