+Organic Fertilizers:

Animal-Based Fertilizers Blood, feather and fish meals serve as

sources of nitrogen Bone meal contains 12 percent

phosphorus, providing a reliable source of this mineral

Mineral Fertilizers Colloidal, rock and hard-rock phosphates

add phosphorus to your soil. Greensand is an organic source of

potassium, containing about 7 percent, which it slowly releases into soil

Plant-Based Fertilizers Alfalfa and soybean meals contain 3

percent and 7 percent nitrogen, respectively

Wood ash provides low amounts of nitrogen and contains about 6 percent potassium.

Compost Organic growers typically use compost to

improve the structure, aeration, water and nutrient-holding capacities of their soil.
