Gardeners always search standard fertilizers at
market and online gardening accessories
shops. Fertilization is an integral part of gardening. Vegetable garden is incomplete
without fertilization. The quantity of vegetable fertilizer depends upon the
type of soil and the type of plants. Plants’ requirements differ from season to
season. Vine crops such as tomatoes and beans require little amount of
vegetable fertilizer. On the other hand, root crops need large amount of
vegetable fertilizer.
Organic fertilizers are the best fertilizers for
vegetable garden. When a gardener aims at producing vegetables to use in his
own kitchen, he must use organic vegetable garden fertilizer. Compost is
regarded as the most beneficial organic fertilizer which improves the quality
of the soil and the health of the plants. Materials required for compost
include leaves, garden scraps, lawn clippings, straw etc. Crushed eggshells and
coffee grinds can also be used as organic fertilizer.
A gardener can also try nitrogen-producing plants
such as alfalfa (crimson clover) etc to fertilize the vegetable plants. This
method increases fertility by sowing the nitrogen-producing plants into the
garden. Nitrogen is important for almost all the crops. Therefore this
technique can be regarded as a great natural alternative. Wood ashes can also
be used as fertilizers but before using it the gardener must be assured that
the ashes are formed from chemical-free woods.
Manure is another organic fertilizer. Horse and
chicken manure are the most used manures. These manures are also easily
available at any place.
