Organic Fertilizer Blog!

I can safely say that there’s nothing better than eating a salad made with veggies you grew yourself. I love knowing where my food comes from: my backyard!
So instead of spending money on tomatoes shipped from exotic locales, grow your own with the help of organic tomato fertilizer.

First off, the type of organic tomato fertilizer you use is extremely important to the health and overall success of your crop.
Your two choices are liquid or granule fertilizer.
You might be thinking, what’s the difference? They both grow tomatoes, right? But you should know tomatoes are heavy feeders and need the right nutrients to get the best results. Check out this little guide to help you choose which fertilizer is right for your plant.

Liquid

The benefit of liquid organic fertilizers is that they’re immediately available to your plants. They can also be easily applied to the soil around the base of the plant or even sprayed on the leaves for foliar feeding. Some liquid fertilizers are based on fish emulsions or kelp and others are created from manure tea.
The problem many find with organic liquid fertilizers is that as fast as they get into the ground, they can also leach out very quickly. So if you live in an area with a lot of rain, the fertilizer is getting washed away with each rain shower and will need to be reapplied after every rain and frequently during dry spells.

Granule

Granule organic fertilizers are sprinkled around the base of the plant and mixed into loose soil. It’s slow release formula often improves the soil as a breakdown. Another benefit of granule is that there is no worry of the plant getting too much at one time. The granules tend to have many more micronutrients than liquid and instead of dissipating when a rain storm comes, the water will pull the nutrients deep within the soil.
The problem with granular fertilizer is that it works very slowly. If you’re looking for a quick fix for plants that aren’t doing well, granular won’t work fast enough for you.
