About Organic Fertilizers
Alfalfa Meal: N-P-K 5-1-2
Primarily a source of nitrogen. Also includes some important trace
minerals and triconatol, a plant-growth hormone and growth promoter. A
primary benefit - increasing organic matter.
Bat Guano: N-P-K 10-3-1
A fast acting source of soluble nutrients, high in nitrogen and a good
phosphorus source. Also contains potassium, calcium, boron, and sulfur.
Aids root growth, leaves, stops leaf roll, fights “heart rot” in root
crops, prevents wilting, loss of color and premature blossom drop.
Bone Meal: N-P-K 1-12-0 LASTS 4-8 MONTHS
A good source of phosphorus and calcium. Promotes vigorous bulbs and
root systems. Great for boosting flower production or feeding fruit
trees.
Cottonseed Meal: N-P-K 6-1-1 LASTS 3-5 MONTHS
Pesticide-free, slow release nutrients for acid-tolerant plants. One of
the best fertilizers for blueberries,
rhododendrons, and azaleas.
Note: Cotton is a heavily sprayed crop and cottonseed meal not specified
pesticide-free will contain residues of whatever has been sprayed on it.
VermiCulture NW uses pesticide-free cottonseed meal in mixes unless
labeled otherwise.
Feather Meal: N-P-K 12-0-0 LASTS 6 MONTHS
Comprised of ground poultry feathers, which are an extraordinary source
of nitrogen. Great for plants needing a steady long lasting supply of
nitrogen. Excellent for crops requiring high amounts of nitrogen.
Gypsum
A mineral (calcium sulfate) used to moderate pH. Improves soil texture,
breaking down clay soils and increasing coherency of loose friable
soils. Stimulates growth of N-fixing bacteria in soil. Aids in potash
availability.
Kelp Meal: N-P-K 1-0-8 LASTS 12 MONTHS
Although kelp extracts do contain small amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus,
and potassium their value is not as a fertilizer but as a growth
stimulant. They contain potent concentrations of trace minerals,
micronutrients, amino acids, and vitamins essential to plant growth.
Most important, kelp contains many growth hormones, including cytodinins,
auxins, and gibberellins, which stimulate cell division and larger root
systems.
Soft Rock Phosphate: N-P-K- 0-33-0
Contains large amounts of calcium, and phosphorus in a natural colloidal
form. Colloidal phosphates suspend in soils and water so that leaching
is minimized. Most chemical phosphates leach downstream resulting in
poor nutrient efficiency. Phosphate helps in photosynthesis, nitrogen
transport and calcium increases yields. High levels of phosphorus can
also deter weeds from growing. Also contains iron silica and about 14
other micronutrients. Phosphate is both immediately available and a long
term source of phosphates. Soft rock phosphate should be applied before
planting for maximum effect.
Sul-Po-Mag: N-P-K 0-0-22
Short for Sulfate of potash magnesia. Contains 11% Magnesium and 22%
Sulfur. This is a long lasting source of Potassium and Magnesium.
Magnesium is a macronutrient often in short supply in soils, but is
necessary for cell division. This stuff makes roses produce new cans
like crazy.
