business and finance environmental services industryWhat does natural fertilizer mean?
Correspondingly, what are some examples of natural fertilizers?
A. Natural fertilizers are organic products that have been extracted from living things or from the earth. They can be either plant-derived or animal-derived. Some examples would be mushroom manure, blood meal, bone meal, cottonseed meal, kelp meal, poultry or horse manure (aged) and compost.
In this manner, what is natural fertilizer made of?
Organic fertilizer is usually made from plant or animal waste or powdered minerals. Examples include manure and compost, as well as bone and cottonseed meal. They are usually sold as “soil conditioners” rather than as fertilizer, because the nutrient ratios are difficult to guarantee.
Fertilizers fall into two general categories: organic, or natural, and inorganic, or chemical. Natural fertilizers are those formed through decomposition, while chemical fertilizers are manmade or mined. Natural fertilizers improve the texture of the soil and increase the amount of beneficial microorganisms.
