ORGANIC FERTILIZER

The benefits of using organic fertilizer in garden

BEST WAYS TO FERTILIZE ORGANIC GARDEN

ORGAPaul Gautschi has popularized wood chip gardening, a no-till gardening technique. In addition to adding wood chips to your garden, you can also add an organic fertilizer. Paul uses his own chickens manure compost as fertilizer. He does not use any purchased fertilizer. What he uses is actually considered more of a compost or amendment because it is a mix of his garden waste, wood chips, soil and chicken manure, all composted in place in his chicken run.

​USE CAUTION WITH ANIMAL MANURES
When you use any animal manure from unknown sources it is very important to make sure it is clean, meaning the animal did not eat toxic feed containing GMO's, herbicides, pesticides. Horse manure can often have herbicide traces in it that will inhibit plant growth if the horses ate herbicide laden hay. When in doubt, purchase OMRI Certified fertilizer only. It is worth investing in a clean source now for your  health or you'll pay the price later.
​

HORSE MANURE COMPOST 
Typically horse manure is mixed with sawdust in the horse stable and will compost for 3-6 months before being added to a garden. ​
ORGANIC CHICKEN MANURE 
Paul feeds his chickens his organic garden waste and adds grass clippings, weeds, and yard waste to his chicken run. They turn all of that into beautiful organic chicken manure compost. This high quality material can be added as a mulch layer to your garden as needed. Paul says his chickens are his "soil manufacturing plant and the eggs are just a bonus!"
PLANT & VEGETABLE COMPOST
Garden and food scrap items such as vegetable and fruit waste, coffee grounds, tea bags, grains, and more are wonderful material to compost. It is easy to create free organic fertilizer from plant and vegetable compost.

What is Organic Fertilizer?

Organic fertilizers are derived from either composted animal manure or composted plant or vegetable matter. In contrast, the majority of fertilizers used in commercial gardening are extracted from minerals or produced industrially. These chemical fertilizers promise a higher yield but actually deplete your soil of nutrients over time. On the contrary, organic fertilizers build your soil, nourish your plants, and require less input over time.
