If you’d prefer to keep things as organic as you can, you may want to consider using organic fertilizer. You’ll be doing your part to keep the earth green and you’ll also be helping keep your home safe for your family and pets. It can be difficult to determine which brand is best for you, so this article will review a few of the best choices on the market.
Best Organic Lawn Fertilizers #1: Mega Green Organic
Mega Green Organic liquid lawn fertilizer is 97 percent organic. Several other fertilizer brands only have 20 percent organic products. Since Mega Green is 97 percent organic, that means that most of the ingredients can be safely absorbed into your plants and the ground. This comes in a bottle with an attachment that hooks directly to your garden hose and then you spray the fertilizer all over your yard. The manufacturer says that “The fertilizer contains macronutrients, micronutrients, minerals, amino acids and peptides that are readily absorbed by grass and plants” so you know exactly what it is you’re putting on your lawn. It is also made from farm raised catfish but don’t worry it wont’ smell like fish. The website says that farmed catfish do not have a strong odor and the product has a minty scent because they’ve added an organic deodorant. This product has a prolonged and steady release rate of the ingredients so your yard will stay greener for longer and will even help improve the quality of the soil over the years. You can use this product all year long and it works best during the growing season. This has a shelf life of 5 or more years and one 32 ounce bottle covers 4,000 square feet. You can buy this online from Clean Air Gardening for $18.99.
