Growing Organic Vegetables - Generating Your Own Personal Fertilisers
Integrating organic fertilisers to your garden soil makes certain that the soil get the necessary nutrients that it needs. All gardeners growing organic vegetables will tell you that if you do this 2-3 times a year it will considerably improve the soil in your vegetable garden.Take into account that doing this the organic way ensures that there are no man made chemical compounds being put back into your soil.
Sorts of fertiliser:
These can be broken down into two basic types.
Organic animal based and organic plant based fertiliser.
Organic Animal Fertiliser:
Organic animal fertiliser is more generally known as manure.
Normally you will find that it originates from cows, horses and chickens. You can also include bats and rabbits in this particular list of animals.
This manure should really have time to decompose and age before mixing it in thoroughly with your soil. If you are doing this yourself it is important that the manure has fully decomposed to ensure the removal of nasty bacteria.
Once your fertiliser is fully decomposed you can now mix this in with your soil. It will depend on exactly what form your fertiliser is in as to how you should do this.
But in basic terms, if it is in either liquid or solid form you should ensure that it is mixed in nicely with your soil. It is also a good idea to plan your planting for at the very least 3-4 weeks after you apply your fertiliser. Not only will this enable the fertiliser to work it's magic throughout the the soil but it will remove any bad aromas from the manure that will otherwise make your planting an unpleasant task.
Organic Plant Fertiliser:
Referred to in most gardening circles as "Green Manure" Plant based fertiliser comes from several sources.
Most common originate from seaweed and kelp. This type of fertiliser is wonderful for growing organic vegetables as seaweed has been shown to comprise of nutrients such as manganese, copper and zinc. All of which are intimately associated with good growth of your produce and supply the soil with the invaluable nutrients an organic gardener looks for.
Many organic gardeners now use worm casings to fertilise their soil. It is possible to buy this in your local gardening establishment, but lots of people now produce their own.
To do this you need to ensure you have the correct worms that you can get once again from the garden shop. A covered container and damp vegetable matter or old newspaper. This is a wonderful and consistent way to get free fertiliser for your garden all the year round and costs practically nothing.
There is an additional "Green Manure" fertiliser you can use if you can find the right plants. Typically this is a crop such as soya which is grown and then harvested and mixed with the soil so that the plant basically decomposes in the soil. This works very well as the decomposing plant matter releases nutrients as it breaks down within your soil.
Ensuring that you keep the soil of your organic garden well fertilised not less than twice a year will ensure that your crop is gaining it's maximum growing potential. It is relatively inexpensive to do and the small costs involved will make sure your eating a good crop of organic vegetables though-out the year.
